My amazing trauma surgeon wife came home crying today. She is 33 weeks pregnant and saw the aftermath first hand. Amazing mobilization by @UnivHealthSA . When will our lawmakers try to tackle this problem the same way? Our hearts break for the families of uvalde.

@SerWisdom69 @Ntombi @TheAimercat @JollyBoySwagg @GridironStuds @ZachAbolverdi @AschoffESPN So the flu shot is like a seat belt. It may not prevent the flu but it makes you less likely to die from the flu and super infection. Everyone that was hospitalized did not get the flu shot. Would you get in your car without a seat belt?

@DrNeilStone I guess we are used to the system and for me it is usually a great collaboration which allows me to see more patients without getting decisional fatigue from the small decisions. I also find that they can really add to patient care and never subtract.

Got my ESCMID pin and it was wrapped in a paper towel. I thought it was thoughtful. My wife, the surgeon, said, “the college would never do that.” That is when i learned they refer to themselves as THE college.

So the DOTs trial looks nice, well done, good randomization. The only thing that brings me pause is the amount of exclusions. I get that they had to be cautious but I feel I will be waiting for the phase 3. They also have more data coming out for f/u and MSSA vs MRSA subgroups.

@IM_Crit_ I think there are statistically significant but not clinically relevant findings in the study. Conclusion is short term it is ok, long term we still don’t know. Also they did push dose high dose cefepime vs lower dose continous infusion zosyn which is relevant.

@ABsteward @NEJM I think the major question for the steward in me is, what if we all start doing this? You are likely to get Ag resz and then probably more res. Why do prophylaxis if then the treatment is harder and the mortality is the same? You save money short term. Y do i want to not like it?
