My amazing trauma surgeon wife came home crying today. She is 33 weeks pregnant and saw the aftermath first hand. Amazing mobilization by

I am excited to say that I will be finishing an amazing 2 years of my ID fellowship

How is this allowed? I saw some of the stuff and my PAs are my friends and colleagues. I saw it from that perspective. I agree something is wrong with all of that. Who is behind it? This seems intentional. Is this retalliation for the strikes?
I feel like minocycline monotherapy is ok for stenotrophonas bacteremia but the idsa guidelines say otherwise. The data says it ok. Who disagrees with it?
Man the UK peeps are being downright mean about PAs. Do some of them realize how unbecoming it is to see the volatile comments from providers? Fill me in

So, this is probably not that big of news for some, but I completed my first Investigational New Drug application through the FDA. Small wins make the long days worth it!
Sometimes you just walk into a costco, take a deep breath, and realize you are about to spend 500 dollars when you came for just eggs and some diapers.

La gente cree q cancer es algo sencillo. La verdad es q cada cancer es diferente xq vienen del cuerpo en adn de cada persona. La creencia q hay un tratamiento universal es creer q hay un tratamiento simple xa un problema complejo.

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.

As a former hospitalist with an id habit, i used to get countless “patient needs admit for chest pain...oh and they have a uti.” This was a little triggering.
I just signed up for
@CritCareIDN
conference next week. This should be a great couple of days for those of us in ID and/or critical care. Looking forward to it.
Cruise ships are like “incubators, petri dishes” for coronavirus, says Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who is the infectious diseases director at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
“They’re really incredibly very healthy environments for the pathogens.”

Hey man, they are always monitoring claims on vaccines and medications. The news just decided to pick it up bc it is politically devisive. Don’t fall for it.

Privatizing the NHS turns you into the US like healthcare or something similar to Colombia where the administrative barriers make getting healthcare cumbersome. Our biggest issue is access due to cost which is detrimental to patient care.
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?
My wife up on the stage with one of the Uvalde survivors. I am so proud of her and the whole University of Texas San Antonio and University Health teams. The family is also a testament of strength.

There is no way this replaces transplant but neat. My fear is now I have to figure out who I have to consult to have an infected artificial kidney removed and how do I prove it. I am looking at you LVADs.
@PaulSaxMD
My neighbors think I am lying being in ID because I end up shrugging my shoulders a lot to their question after giving them a blast of information.
Interesting that in this study, the highest risk for COVID were the phlebotomist in addition to nursing and respiratory therapy. Talk about a true frontline position! Thank you for all that you do.
@ID_fellows
I like when attendings tell me all about their professional journey. My attendings have told me all about the things they wished they know. I also talk to my cofellow constantly about jobs and future during continuity clinic.

Per CDC, COVID vaccines looking impressively safe.

They work under our supervision in our area. They don’t make more than physicians in their same geographic location but they can do very well.

If these are the comments to your op-ed, you are in the wrong company. I bet you got everything right during the pandemic didn’t you? Get off your high horse and your anchor biases and take a seat with the other clout chasers.
