Dr. Sriskandan’s talk on group a strep outbreak was about as perfect a talk as you can see. She instantly became a hero of mine. #ESCMIDGlobal2024

So the DOTs trial looks nice, well done, good randomization. The only thing that brings me pause is the amount of exclusions. I get that they had to be cautious but I feel I will be waiting for the phase 3. They also have more data coming out for f/u and MSSA vs MRSA subgroups.

My son is really enjoying the bacteriophage Q&A. #ESCMIDGlobal2024

I signed up for online escmid but realized I have to flip my schedule like I was on night shift. Anyone else? I kind of wish I could hang with someone online so I can whisper, “Todd C. Lee would hate this, they didn’t even account for immortal time bias”. Small things, you know?

I feel like minocycline monotherapy is ok for stenotrophonas bacteremia but the idsa guidelines say otherwise. The data says it ok. Who disagrees with it?

Man the UK peeps are being downright mean about PAs. Do some of them realize how unbecoming it is to see the volatile comments from providers? Fill me in Neil Stone

Today I read a HPI from surgery that was far superior to the medicine HPI. It is a sad day.

Some asshole in my home gym never puts his weights away.

Someone is going to get lucky!
