Y’all gotta stop fear mongering with the antibiotic resistance response to people who are on Doxy for PEP. This concern yall have is not severe enough to outweigh the benefits for people at high risk of recurrent STIs. Plus there’s other situations doxy is used DAILY like acne patients for years.

3pm: read a blood film for schistocytes
5pm: deliver a baby

Working in a hospital 2020 we were seeing waves of people dying of Covid.

It was terrifying.

When the vaccines came out we were fighting to get to it

The sense of relief getting the first dose was enormous.

I'll never forget that time,even if you all have.
