Maybe, just maybe, there are other ID physicians, like myself, who are so burned out that you could use us for charcoal.

Had to use it in one of my transplant patients who had human polyomavirus 8 induced trichodysplsia spinulosa. Lesions improved for some time, but eventually she had other issues which caused them to increase immunosuppression and then lesions returned.

What a scary sight to see a player collapse on live TV from what seemed like a cardiac arrest.

Prayers for Damar Hamlin - if it was Commotio Cordis - a fatal arrhythmia triggered by chest trauma at a specific time in cardiac cycle, hopefully timely CPR will improve outcome

@dr_bisono I once had to call the resident who called the consult like this and made them round with me to make them understand how upset pts get when you say oral abx for dc when they need IV.

@ParagIDCC @ShohamTxID @IDdocAdi @IDSAInfo Curbsides will happen and doing a full note will add to work load. We need to be compensated for curbsides

[Shivan Shah MD @Dr_Bacillus]

@ShohamTxID @IDSAInfo Yup the model of how we practice needs to change. Example: curbsides can be compensated, stewardship/infection control needs extra pay, and work life balance needs to improve
