It’s a bird that teaches children things. Like how to stay healthy. That’s it.

This.

Refusing a consult by saying “but the white count is only 12” is the most weak-sauce argument in the world, and should result in you being sent back to medical school immediately

Stop making fun of older kids who still believe in Santa Claus, there are grown nephrologists who still think LR is contraindicated in hyperkalemia.

This right here. Bingo.

If you know someone who's on the fence about vaccination show them this. It's not too late.

Going to try this with my next consult.

So yes: By all means manage the present ongoing public health emergency, with every medical, social and political tool available. But don’t pretend for a minute that our system will somehow autoresuscitate when talk of spike proteins is in our rear view mirror. It won’t. 4/

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A “BETA-LACTAM ALLERGY” OR A “CEPHALOSPORIN ALLERGY.” CROSS-ALLERGIC REACTIONS ARE LIMITED TO DRUGS WITH EXTREMELY SIMILAR R-SIDE CHAINS. SO YOU CAN ALMOST ALWAYS FIND A SAFE BETA-LACTAM. IF YOU JUST HAVE A WEE BIT OF COURAGE, THAT IS.
