You do your patient no favors by treating their CAP with vanco cefepime.

There is something profoundly anti democratic/plutocratic about how expensive sporting event and concert tickets have gotten. What average income American family can afford these? No entertainment or culture for the common folk I guess...what could go wrong?
Expedition 60. You magnificent bastards. #Forthosewhocomeafter
Every GOTY award that Expedition 33 got is not enough. Game of the generation. For those who come after!
Early career advice hot take. Say "No" a lot. Unless you're passionate about it, drop it. Learn to say "No" early. Your time is by far your most valuable asset. Everything you say "yes" to is a "no" to something else.
How do I incorporate "deadass" and "Aura farming" into my daily rounds and documentation? Need to stay hip with the youts!

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

@bradspellberg.bsky.social and other ID gurus - Does this look OK to you? Any critiques and/or additional thoughts you would pass along to front-line clinicians about implementing this regimen in real life? (disclosure: my hatred of ampho-induced AKI runs deep) emcrit.org/ibcc/cryptoc...
And a congratulations to the humble @drboulware.bsky.social, who published a thoughtful editorial accompanying the study. Dr. Boulware is a true leader in ID, and it is an honor to have him evaluate our study. I encourage everyone to read his team's editorial! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Most people: free will exists! Me: if I don't shine this bright light in my face every morning during winter my brain goes full emo Most people: uh.....
Just another day where I ask you, do you REALLY need to use Zosyn?
In response to the unfolding terror in Minnesota I wanted to create a space to come together. I’m hosting a book club on Hannah Arendt’s essay Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship next Tuesday to raise money for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota samantharosehill.substack.com/p/a-special-bo

Just started my ID LKA. I know its hard to write questions at this level. But In the span of 9 questions, I have already submitted 2 feedback notes for bad questions/debatable answers. I've never done this for IM (maybe I know less there and cant complain as much) #idsky
“A fundamental difference between modern dictatorships and all other tyrannies of the past is that terror is no longer used as a means to exterminate and frighten opponents, but as an instrument to rule masses of people who are perfectly obedient.” — Hannah Arendt
David Bowie died ten years ago today. The world grew a bit darker that day. And never quite recovered.
"No one has the right to obey." — Hannah Arendt
