Mr Djokovic’s visa has been cancelled. Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders. No one is above these rules. Our strong border policies have been critical to Australia having one of the lowest death rates in the world from COVID, we are continuing to be vigilant.

[Francesca Ponzini @PonziniF]

best advice I can give someone going to med school (& i guess in general): separate your sense of self worth from your academics and academic achievements as soon as you can.

I don't follow ANCA titers after diagnosis.

Here is more data making me feel better about not repeating ANCA.

Persistent positive ANCA titer one year after induction therapy DID NOT predict relapse, death or ESRD @zach_wallace_md #ACR21

Passed a group of cardiology fellows congregating in the halls - wanted to ask if they were a "tetrology of fellows" but lost my nerve. Opportunity squandered...

Saw a case of post-staph GN back in January. Knew it wasn't a big deal, but didn't have much going on so I wrote it up anyway. Friendly reminder that a case doesn't have to be super rare or have poorly understood pathophysiology for you to get something out of it 🙂

[Zaven Sargsyan @sargsyanz]

Let’s imagine two drugs for the same indication, E and H.

E is more effective
E is safer
E is just as cheap
E is one shot per day, H is three

Which do you choose?

The indication is DVT prophylaxis.

No brainer to choose enoxaparin over heparin unless ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Cr or BMI.

Stop sending urinalyses and urine cultures in people without urinary symptoms!
