Hey #IDTwitter and #MedTwitter, I am giving a talk about the "merits of social media" for our group of ID docs next week. What do you think is the most beneficial thing you get out of your involvement in social media @TempleID1@ABsteward@IDdocAdi@CarlosdelRio7
Spectrum ≠ Strength
Broad spectrum antibiotics are not stronger antibiotics. If you need paint, but you come home from the hardware store with paint, wrenches, pipes, and a chainsaw, your paint job isn’t going to turn out any better, and your partner will probably be upset.
Oral switch non-inferior to IV standard therapy for S aureus bacteremia with respect to complications, but reduced length of stay. No difference in 90-day mortality or C diff diarrhea. #IDWeek2022
@TempleID1 I’m glad that the fellows wearing @Phillies attire wasn’t a thing when I was there. There would have been some strong rebellion. Let’s Go @Mets !
"When pts are told that their condition does not “meet criteria”..., we are often telling them—intentionally or not—that their symptoms are not real. In doing so, we are ... also ceding the ground to the profiteers and charlatans."
Superb piece! https://t.co/9nTfWFjZHa
Mad to think the average Victorian physician would have also been a mathematician, a taxidermist, a meteorologist, a theologian, a tropical explorer, an acclaimed composer and the inventor of the bidet but nowadays the cANCA rheumatologist won’t help me if it’s a pANCA problem
The fall of Sotrovimab🤔
First we were treating SARS-COV-2
Then Variants Alpha, Delta or
⭕micron
Now sub-lineages BA.1 BA.2
What's next?
But I still believe we need clinical data from RCTs to decide not in vitro studies #IDTwitter#medtwitter#TwitteRx#MedEd#COVID19
@PelotonMed Same name here as on the #leaderboard. Unsurprisingly, an ID doc. Had bike since June 2019, Tread came last week. Excited to start new running journey
I can't do this anymore! 20-30 years old ,with kids ,unvax,in the icu, all dying. For the love of god for your kids if you're unvax survive for them at least , set politics aside. Be there for your children. The horrors we've seen I can't unsee anymore #COVID19#GetVaccinatedNow
Our three New Jersey hospitals - in Cherry Hill, Stratford and Washington Township - were each awarded an ‘A’ in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for fall 2021 - a national recognition. Learn more: https://t.co/57vwidnivN
Happy to share our most recent study on Heterologous #Covid Vaccinations. We can say it's #safe, reactogenicity is similar to primary series, and there is a signal that #Moderna booster produces higher antibodies!
