This session focuses on framing the history, contextual clues, and early evaluation. Also the importance of considering non-infectious mimics when the pieces do not fit.

If you wrote it with a trainee, at least you know that one person learned something.

On learning to say no.
On the psychic who told my mother that I’d be published.
It’s a reflection on writing, and on protecting your bandwidth.

Delays seem less common now, but this is welcome support when advocating for urgent washouts.
Retrospective, yes, but still a helpful reference.

i hope this episode reflects his wisdom clearly.
The consult that humbles everyone, eventually.
A structured approach to FUO...and when to stray off the path and “go for the money.”

credit to my colleague in training, dr. sumon chakrabarti for coining the term.
Now you can spot it when you see it, chuckle when it appears, and (hopefully) catch it in yourself before falling into the same trap.

“The Vulgar Display of Recently Acquired Knowledge”
We’ve all seen it: the colleague who drops a shiny new fact like it’s ancient wisdom.
Let’s talk about performative expertise and why it stings (and seduces) us all.

My general solution is to better value, in all senses, both peer and editorial review. If peer review was formally counted as work by an academic that might encourage more engagement.

this brief review covers the key points (rationale + recommendations).
IMO, starting a statin in all PLWHIV should be a shared decision, not just for those at moderate CV risk.

brooke fraser joins the show as we dig into a few topics on the teaching and practice of ID.
pretty sure we’ll be making a habit of this type of episode.
This episode features a new format—part roundtable, part reflection—where we talk about what’s shaping ID thinking right now.
Featuring guest host, Dr. Brooke Fraser.

easy to overlook but important to catch.

the "mulligan", when thoughtfully deployed, is a helpful way to manage cases where you aren't sure where to turn next.
the art is knowing when best to take this approach, but the timing (and optics) need to be weighed carefully.
In golf, a mulligan is a do-over.
In ID, sometimes the best move is the same: stop, reset, and start fresh.
We discuss the value of this strategy and when use it (or shelve it).

It's not just about picking an antibiotic, but also asking why it happened, and what else to do?
This FCID session reviews an approach to the patient with GNB bacteremia.

mind you, i’ve usually reviewed the blood work and imaging prior to seeing the patient.

in hindsight, i think this one may speak more to staff than trainees…
When your plan is careful, evidence-based… and your attending still says “No, do the opposite”?
This episode is about those moments of mismatch between trainee & attending, and how to find your footing when you feel out of sync.
