Scene: Medical Grand Rounds, 5 minutes before the start. Lecture is on coronary artery disease, which may have a link to Infectious Disease even if it isn’t actually caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae or CMV after all.

In the last post, I cited examples of patients who are doing much better now because they are on long-acting cabotegravir-rilpivirine (CAB-RPV). One of these patients said he preferred it because it’s “simpler,” by which he meant he no longer had to go to the pharmacy to refill his medications each month. I’ll grant for him […]

Mashup Score: 10Advice to Incoming Subspecialty Fellows -- Don't Underestimate or Belittle Your Interns and Residents - 10 month(s) ago
Around a million years ago, early during the first year of my ID fellowship, a medical intern consulted me about an elderly patient with a urinary tract infection. Me: Does she have a catheter? Intern: I don’t know. Me: Has she been admitted before with a UTI? Any cultures? Intern: I think so — wait, I’m […]

Mashup Score: 0Clinical Teaching at the 99.9th Percentile: Dr. Martin (Marty) Samuels - 11 month(s) ago

No one exemplified this talented group better than Dr. Martin (Marty) Samuels, former chief of neurology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (where I work), and professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School. He was quite simply the best clinical […]

This blog-column-newletter (or whatever you want to call it) on NEJM @JWatch is 15 years old. A brief reflection on why I keep writing it, plus a quick look back at the previous 5 years ... did something notable in ID happen during that time? 😉 https://t.co/wnNMKfucKJ
