Spending the morning reviewing the literature for Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci infections in neonates.
All I can think of now are silly little puns.
What are the CoNS to these infections?
What are the CoNSequences of treating?
What’s our antibiotic CoNSumption rate

Sometimes I do wonder whether 80% LTFT should be considered the new normal?
Average hours for a full time paediatric trainee = 48 hours/week
At 80% = 38.4 hours/week
UK average full time job = 36.6 hours/week

🧵 Our grandmas were onto something when they told us to have some tea when we were sick. Cool paper showing several Omicron-era #SARSCoV2 variants effectively inactivated by green tea, Matcha, & black tea, mediated by EGCG and TFDG: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I think I saw more cases of measles in the last year, than I’ve ever seen before.
Please vaccinate your kids - the MMR vaccine is safe!
