Okay ID Twitter, you asked, so I tried. How does below look as pilot re-design of Shorter Is Better table? Added in the 1 negative RCT of fluclox for cellulitis in footnote, too. I think I can't fit total N on the slide, but maybe I could on website. Thoughts? Re-design further?

Our next #IDJClub is Nov 4th 9 pm EST & we will discuss the DANCE trial, an RCT comparing 6 vs 12 days of antibiotics for severe cellulitis

DANCE bucked a trend by suggesting shorter is not always better, but did this trial have all the right moves? 💃

Me: "Hey there. Just came back to check on you."
Him: "Lawd. Did you come back to bug me about that pill some more?"
Me: "You mean the PrEP? Nah. Well. I mean, I do want you to take it. But I legit came to check on you."
Him: "Mmmm hmmmm."

I met a psychiatrist who was the head of his department

He knew I was a psychiatry doctor & a psychiatry patient

He looked at me with disgust

That's when I realised that the culture in psychiatry must change

That we must challenge mental health stigma in our own profession
