Clinical infectious disease and transplant ID. Hail from MNL. First attending job @WashUID in STL. Team @wuidq. Views mine, RTs not endorsements.

@DjokovicFan_ Was it not applied based on the predetermined decision rule? https://t.co/Wj86NY54Za

@PabloTorre As a UP grad, I also found the occasion and way you wore the sablay a bit off but you've responded to the controversy in such a classy way. No harm, no foul. Glad people had this conversation.

@princessbrattt NKKLK but whatever, haha.

Quite the day in #MPX news! We describe cases post JYNNEOS in @JAMA_current. Nearly all <15 days after 1st dose, but we did identify a few cases >28days.

Take a peak at the number vaccinated, truly incredible work by everyone @howardbrownhc 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

@PrathitKulkarni Neurology folks have "false localizing signs" and so do we.

@DouglasCaraba11 @netw3rk All fiction is predicated on suspension of disbelief--acceptance of some implausibility as plausible. Why is a created world with skin color diversity so violently implausible that it stands in the way of a story about elves, dwarves and hobbits?

@drtimothyli @Cortes_Penfield @geno_md @IdVilchez Tedizolid maybe has a lower rate of AE. Data not great. I use them often for VAD infections in need of long-term suppression. Only 1 discontinuation for AE so far. For whatever it's worth.

MISADVENTURES IN AMERICAN HEALTHCARE

1. Doctor orders scan that's clearly indicated for patient & which they've had many times before (allowing for apples-to-apples comparison)

2. Despite order weeks in advance, receive denial day-before from insurer without any explanation

[Nico Cabrera @ncabrera]

This made me hungry.

Be careful with what you eat...

We love a stoplight table! Check out this great summary made by @moore_wjustin of PsA resistance 🦠 to beta-lactams from the recent #Breakpoints discussion with @erinmccreary, @MaggieMonogue, and @aoliverp73. Then listen to the episode for all the details: https://t.co/ez0n3ae0fR

@dr_dmorgan @AdamRodmanMD @jbcarmody I had an attending in residency who would tease residents and students who present "past history of diabetes" by saying "Is it over?"

When I right out my note I use 'background/past medical history' as the section heading. Some issues are resolved and some are ongoing.

@ConanMacDougall @IdVilchez @JGPharmD @kkpIDRx @OncIDPharmd @wfwrighID @DrToddLee @BradSpellberg @SAIRABT @AntibioticDoc @mmPharmD @theIDPharmD @SuperBugDoc @AlexandreMALEK @jmilabs We're taught Enterococcus is a pretty wimpy bug and generally it probably is but I just can't shake off those post-liver transplant pts who get pretty serious Enterococcus BSI and get septic and even die.

@xiaolongjiao Whaaaat? I thought their public transit system was supposed to be super efficient?

[Nico Cabrera @ncabrera]

@peralasporky So much for Alito's awkward insistence that this decision can only apply to abortion rights and abortion rights alone.

[Nico Cabrera @ncabrera]

@gorio_ou Maybe you have diabetes insipidus.

[Nico Cabrera @ncabrera]

@drtimothyli Had pt w persistent MRSAB on VAN, DAP, CPT+DAP. Most recent isolate DAP NS. PET no target for source control. Tried CPT+TMP-SMX. BCx TTP slowed then cleared. Was it last combo or duration of tx on all these regimens? I don't know.

@JncherabieMD And now with an office with a window! 🎉 🍾 🥂 🎇 🌈

[Nico Cabrera @ncabrera]

Are peer-to-peers for insurance approval/appeals EVER w actual peers (comparable clinical experience/expertise practicing in same field)? Or always w broadly medical employee of insurance company who have never treated someone like your pt?

Just curious.

[Nico Cabrera @ncabrera]

@PBMazi I think it's a matter of institutional policy. I was told my chief residency yr would mean I would be labeled PGY5 in fellowship but paid PGY4. I have friends who were paid PGY5 at their fellowship institution because of their chief yr. 🤷‍♂️
