Shout out to Samuel Seabury who single handedly got NYC Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia over Robert Moses—imagine what he would have done with even more power! Triple cantilevers on every block.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 4d agoWe're done kicking the can down the road. Here's how we're fixing the city-owned section of the BQE.
Lots of pearls in the gram negatives update - presumed ESBL for E ecoli and K pneumo when ceftriaxone MIC >4ug/ml - Added Hafnia alvei as significant Amp-C producer - More evidence for avoiding Zosyn for the Amp-C bugs

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.
75% of the patients met criteria for immune compromise based on the diagnosis of a solid malignancy… is it reasonable to extrapolate the finding to the much smaller number on chemo, chronic steroids and HIV/AIDS?
Antibiotic Steward 🅱️C🆔🅿️🌟@absteward.bsky.social · 3mo agoFor years, the need for longer durations in immunocompromised patients was treated as the exception to every shorter-duration bacteremia discussion. BALANCE may have finally put that belief to rest. Dogma continues to lose ground. #idsky
How to dx cerebro-spinal fever in 1899: “the most reliable method is Quincke's lumbar puncture, which is easily performed and free from danger. The puncture should be made between the second and third or the third and fourth lumbar vertebræ with an ordinary exploratory or "antitoxine" needle…
This is the smartest dog ever. She can solve complex equations but she chooses not to.
On a lark started reading Osler’s textbook from 1899. One of my mentors had his quote “listen to your patient, he’s telling you the diagnosis” framed in her office (shout out Darlene)… took me until being an attending to really appreciate that one. I guess I wondered if maybe more wisdom in there?

Last year I got a MKSAP question wrong about PE management - vignette was a high risk patient likely needing intervention but without shock and I chose LMWH instead of UFH. I emailed the editor to complain and argue for my answer but they shut me down. Just want to say now completely vindicated.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.
It’s January 12th and already this year I’ve spent 30 hours on the NYC subway AMA
in a way Patrick O’Brien’s Captain Jack Aubrey was the first mecha pilot and his ship the first Gundam
Making a fan edit of The Pitt that accurately reflects how I spend my day. The 2-3 min scene in the first ep of the ED team rounding plays on a loop for 10 hours and to fill the other 2 hours I’m looking for B roll of someone standing in a supply closet unable to find what they’re looking for.
It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams
