If you're looking for something nicer and to stay close-ish to McCormick Place, Oliver's and Moody Tongue are both great.

Here is my checklist transferring a patient out of ICU

✅ 2 things to check in computer (labs, vitals)

✅ 2 people to talk to (RN, RT)

✅ 2 things to clean up (meds, lines)

The absolute *key* is talking to the RN & RT. They know the minute-to-minute details of patient care needs & trajectory. #2/2

sorry, one more pearl:

If suspect blasto, consider starting empiric voriconazole (or isavuconazonium/posaconazole). Azoles are safer than amphotericin, so the risk/benefit ratio is more favorable if you're wrong. Definitive confirmation can take time.
