5% of med students are from working class background. This is one the of poorest levels of representation across professions.
It is intellectual sleight of hand to use a few high performing state schools (frequently in affluent areas) to suggest medicines class diversity is improving.

Time to Staphylococcus aureus blood culture positivity is a useful marker for infective endocarditis

This retrospective cohort study of >1700 cases of SAB suggests that if TTP > 13 hrs, the patient is unlikely to have endocarditis (NPV 96%, 95%CI 95-97)

Working with paediatricians quite closely currently and they are absolutely so much better at this than adult doctors. Low threshold to start - but negative cultures at 48 hours & the antibiotics are stopped.

I just did my first CrossFit foundation class - over COVID I gained significant amounts of weight and that pic on the right was me at my heaviest 99kg in Feb, I restarted the gym on May 15th and have cleared just shy of 20kg in just over 6 months.
I promised myself I'd give

I keep getting ghosted after telling people I'm an infection specialist on Tinder.

They must envisage an exciting career working with dangerous imported pathogens.
