Agree, of we’re not all moving to Bluesky or Roon, we might as well ask me on here and intermittently clean our feeds to keep it all the politics/racism

#IDtwitter forever!

An unpopular opinion:
The Bluesky experiment for the ID community has officially failed, IMHO.

Remember when so many ID folks migrated? Did we build a stronger community—or just split it across platforms?

I want you to know ‘tis no crime
To not know that much about Lyme
It's fastidious, hard to grow
There will be many things you don’t know

A 6m course of Terbinafine, including drug monitoring: ~£50.

3d inpatient stay for cellulitis (in UK): ~£2700

This gives a NNP (Number Needed to Prevent) of ~54.

Maybe you don’t want to Rx everyone with onychomycosis; but if you’ve already had cellulitis?

Worth it I think

We shouldn’t be doing fungal nails on the NHS.

Fight me.

Anyway the evidence base is the ultimate Expert Tyrant SHORTER IS BETTER SHILL FOR THOSE PILLS etc etc
