Trump has paused funding for PEPFAR, the international program for distributing HIV/AIDS medications. He also ordered that those medications already on the shelves not be disbursed. Since its creation in 2003 by President Bush, PEPFAR has saved 26 million lives and prevented millions of infections.

Skytorial: Piptazo vs Cefepime 😁
Recently this JAMA-IM paper correlating piptazo with mortality has gained a weird amount of attention

Honestly I’m lucky if I have a pen and keys and my phone all simultaneously.
Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment:
1. My trusty lavender Anker powerbank
2. Mometasone nasal spray
3. Cetirizine
4. Symbicort inhaler
