“We’re asking the wrong question. Let’s use fundamental PK. Let’s get the drug to where the bug is, at a high enough concentration to kill the bug, and not worry about whether we label the drug static or cidal”.

I really can't stress enough just how critical ID pharmacists are in improving patient care
Over 6 months, 10 ID pharmacists were "curbsided" w/ 1,518 Qs, 3/4 from ID attendings
89% of answers led to changes in management!!!
