Today is graduation… As a PGY-5, it’s been 9 years since I was a MS-1… My trusty sidekick, the pager on my side for 3 years of residency, 2 years of fellowship, & 2 many codes during COVID. I’ve had the pleasure to learn from the best at @umn-idim.bsky.social! End of a chapter. #IDSky

It’s a sad day. I’m holding my kids tight. I’m sad & furious that this is our world today. I’ve had the pleasure to meet both @melissahortman.bsky.social & @thedrummingsenator.bsky.social who are good folks representing Minnesotans. www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par... #SadDay #DoBetter4OurKids

I should add, now is a really good time to get on PrEP, get on DoxyPEP if eligible,use condoms and make sure you and your sexual partners are tested. We will see a rise in STIs ( we already were in a crisis situation before the cuts). This will get worse. Please see below for PrEP resources

My continuity clinic is a HIV clinic funded through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program I’ve heard bits of his story, courage, and advocacy in the face of death. Looking forward to learning more about a human that has had a dramatic impact on so many #HIV #RyanWhite #IDSky

I’ve had friends fired from the Minneapolis VA, the CDC, & UNAID in this past week. All exceptional public servants, people who are dedicated to their work, people who have families thatt depend upon them, people who live in your community… #BeBest

Shoutout to @mgh-id.bsky.social for taking care of Charlie McAvoy! Where #IDSky & #HockeySky combine! (Disclaimer - assuming at MGH a patient with septic arthritis on IV antibiotics would receive care from an ID team at MGH, they will not be able to confirm/deny) www.nytimes.com/athletic/614...

Started reading The BFG to my daughter last night. Caught off guard by the dedication, to Olivia, his daughter who died of measles at just 7. Strikes even harder now that vaccination is being demonised. Here's Roald Dahl's warning about this dangerous illness: www.roalddahlfans.com/dahls-work/e...

Seeing a friend who is an exceptional physician cut from the CDC is infuriating on so many levels… EIS is a highly sought after fellowship where you learn the tools to be leaders in public health & help inprove the lives of people in the US & abroad. #IDSky www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/cdc...
