When I passed MBBS, I thought I will study 1 year for PG entrance as MD Medicine seat numbers were very few in Kerala and I was reluctant to go outside Kerala. Relatives and neighbours started making stories, some “failed” me in medicine, some in surgery and some in OBG. Mother started requesting me to join some private hospital even without salary just to convince the affectionate and concerned neighbours and relatives. 3 yrs MD was tough but brilliant academic bombardment. After MD, my mother categorically told me not to remain in house preparing for DM and threatened she will kick me out if I tried to do so. So I reluctantly joined a private hospital as physician to assist a cardiologist!! Because of that I lost 2 more years for getting DM!! Became cardiologist by 32!!! One neighbor advised me to do “free service to humanity” as a brilliant doctor. His kids were in US after engineering by 26 itself. If this was the state of affairs in 1990s for a MBBS guy, how much is the likely stress on medical students at present (though plenty of pg seats are there). Life of MBBS guy is like Life of Pi.

@dr_satish9 What is your take on Urine histoplasma antigen test?

[SCID-AI clinic, Surat @scid_ai]

The average cost of meropenem per day in my city - 2,100 rupees.

The cost of an Infectious disease physician's first visit - 1,500 rupees.

Post surgery pan-resistant microbial infection in ward.

From occasional to routine. That's horrible.

Use cotrimoxazole only if needed but with appropriate dose.

Glad to see more Cloxacillin (instead of Ceftriaxone/Augmentin/Pip-tazo) being used for MSSA BSI

But it's often underdosed

Full dose = 2g Q4H (no renal adjustment needed)

Cefazolin is a good alternative (2g Q8H, adjust for RFT), esp for those prone to phlebitis

@kekhaunter @agarwalamberr @autopsy_surgeon @savaj_pratik @ShethIshan Right. Prognosis is guarded in this kind of case. Need to isolate the pt first and do contact tracing if possible. AMR (anti microbial resistance) is really alarming.

[SCID-AI clinic, Surat @scid_ai]

In a world full of resistance, be sensitive.

@agarwalamberr @autopsy_surgeon @savaj_pratik @ShethIshan Sir, so basically it is difficult to say which antibiotic can work. If this report is real, we need to corelate other clinical conditions also.
This is just to spread awareness about where we all are heading in terms of use of antibiotics.
