@somethings_awry buy a nice bookshelf to display all the books you still have to read. That way it becomes a personal library and you can appreciate them like you would a future holiday.

I'm not sure why anyone would favor benzylpenicillin for PSSA bacteraemia!
🆕💥🟢SNAP RCT
Benzylpenicillin Vs flucloxacillin or cloxacillin
Although the prespecified non-inferiority criterion for benzylpenicillin was not met, the probability of benzylpenicillin being non-inferior for mortality, along with a reduction in risk of AKI, indicates that benzylpenicillin should be preferred over flucloxacillin or cloxacillin for treatment of PSSA bacteraemia in adults #idxposts

🔥Just published 🔥 @NEJM
SNAP RCT
In patients with MSSA bacteremia, cefazolin was noninferior to flucloxacillin or cloxacillin with respect to 90-day mortality and was associated with a lower incidence of acute kidney injury.

The older I get, the more I understand why people garden, paint, bake, journal, photograph sunsets, and collect books.

They’re not hobbies.

They’re little ways of staying connected to yourself.

Robert Greene was right when he said learn by doing.

“The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.”
