Lucky to train in a residency with strong established communication lines between leadership and residents like @UTSWIMchief . I should be used to it, but I still am surprised how quickly I get a thoughtful reply on my (sometimes inane) emails I send @UTSWIMchief or @DinoKazi

Results from the MERINO trial now out, confirming that Pip/Tazo is inferior to Meropenem for ESBL. At our hospital sites we suppress Pip/Tazo susceptibilities for ESBL to avoid confusion! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Take a look at our case in Toxicon on monitoring coagulopathy from snake envenomation w/ ROTEM! Great example of how a multidisciplinary approach with ER, tox, surgery, and ICU can save lives! Thanks to all involved in the project :) @guptaarjun90 @rosie6146 @UTSWIMchief

The young man @RossCSchumacher out here making a conference worth of intensivist nervous. This is excellent work. Can't remeber the last time I saw a poster garner this much interest. @UTSWIMchief and @DinoKazi should be proud.
