Should you avoid IV iron in an iron deficient pt who was recently transfused?
Many fear iron overload, as 1U RBC transfusion contains ~200mg iron (primarily within RBCs). Is this a problem?

"We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.
The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to."

This!!! Also, never assume that something is a mistake -- different people make different artistic choices.
On that note, (unsolicited 😏) tips on Giving Feedback — from an* art director:
✦ Unsolicited feedback is often unwelcome, unnecessary & unhelpful. (Lots of reasons for that**)
✦ Abruptly starting with something like "You should"? Then you should stop right there! It's better framed as a question →

I can’t stress this strongly enough - wear a mask. Get the best respirator you can afford that fits your face and wear it consistently & properly.
Covid is a pre-existing condition for many insurers. You do NOT want Long Covid.
If you’re fortunate enough to still have your health - protect it.
