Thoughtful anticoagulation that incorporates functional measures of hemostasis might make a difference.
Nice when what we’ve said for years is now backed up by research

My favorite pharmacist job description:
(1/4) I walk into the work room to ask my favorite resident about the meropenem order he put in.
He slams his fist against the table: "How do you always know?!" He shouts.
Everyone in the room jumps. Usually, he is so easygoing.
Peds Heme/Onc Attending: we’re going to give him ifosfamide and then he can get to LEGO Land.
Me: Tolegoland? There’s no way that’s a real drug name.
Not my finest moment of residency.
