cefazolin is the easy choice, but if cure above all else is the priority, would anyone use another agent or strategy?

my first knowledge of CPR was from "gimme a break", where ray parker jr (ghostbusters!) made a guest appearance.
(start at 3:00 for the CPR scene)
the fashion remains timeless...the CPR, much more outdated.

The latest episode of The Host Response.
The downside of doing the right thing in ID, either by draining the abscess or hitting the bacteria where it hurts.
Also, a nod to those on call at night when the crash often occurs...it’s tough work, but it doesn’t go unnoticed.
#idsky
You start the right antibiotic. Your patient gets worse.
Why it happens, when to expect it, and how not to panic-escalate at 2am.

even trying to stay current, i’d missed all of these papers (oops). i appreciated such a clear, useful review.
with episodes this consistently good, communicable has entered my regular podcast rotation.

this is an excellent program covering a range of digital media skills.
as part of the 2025 cohort, i can’t recommend it enough for anyone interested in digital education.

turns out, smashing pathogens into inflammatory confetti has consequences.
that transient crash doesn’t always mean failure.
sometimes it means success.

it was nice to meet you today as part of a polymicrobial necrotizing soft tissue infection. i don't think we've met before (or at least, been formally introduced).
here's a bio for others to check out (so they've at least heard your name if they meet you too).

think of it as a small tribute to all the health care workers holding down the fort this season.
distilling over a decade of practice into a few key pearls isn’t easy, but here are a few that truly shape how i practice and what keeps me going.
What 10 years in ID taught me:
• Antibiotics can hurt people
• Not every note needs to be a masterpiece
• You need a work buddy
• Vancomycin remains…vancomycin
Reflections for new ID docs (and reminders for the rest of us)

a positive spin on some of the less glamorous consultations in ID.

Not all of the best ID consults come with fireworks.
Some are quieter, complex, and deeply meaningful.
From recurrent UTIs to follow-ups after treatment, these moments truly matter.

Dr. Brooke Fraser returns for a review of what’s been catching our ID brains lately: teaching tools, papers that may shift practice, ideas from outside medicine, and pearls that show up in work.
For those in ID (or ID-adjacent) enjoy!
