The correlation between those who refuse to take vaccines "because they don't want to mess with their immune system" and those who demand antibiotics for a fever of 98.7 and a runny nose always amazes and amuses me.
Dying laughing because my experience in ID and IM was literally this. It’s like the ER refused to admit anyone without starting vanc and zosyn first. I WISH I could put people in ID jail 😂😂😂 about to start my IM residency in July and then I want to be an ID doctor!
When we can't get an infectious disease consult we just stand next to a patient in a circle and chant meropenem 3 times loudly. 60% of the time it works every time.
Last time my father was hospitalised I started mentioning that ID had interviewed my mom and I and written something in his notes whenever we got new doctors or a different specialty in his room (Dad wasn’t cogent). EVERY single one of them clicked into that tab of his notes. They were so thorough that they had me fill a cup with water to the approximate amount that I filled my Dads wineglass at home so they could more accurately judge his alcohol consumption!
I tested positive for Chagas disease after donating blood about 12 years ago. There were only something like 12 cases of verified endemic Chagas in the US at the time. It was like the opposite of winning the lottery. The doctor was compassionate but I could tell he was already writing up the case study in his head when he was talking to me. I couldn't blame him, I would have been practically giddy too if it weren't me. But he got me some Nifurtimox, so I didn't mind. It may or may not have done anything, but it was worth a shot.
I'm working for the ID department (but more on the HIV/AIDS side of things), and the consult notes being a literal detailed CIA report is on point! ID notes are nothing like I've seen before in other specialties. 😂
After 6 specialtyconsults, I was sent to ID (on a Friday) my consult lasted 107 mins. He said my case was “interesting” and not straightforward. He wanted to read my records over the weekend. 😮
My daughter's ID Dr. Was exactly like this Dr. The most insane note taker I've ever seen not to mention the smartest human that I've ever met. every time we spoke he inspired me to learn he was an amazing physician.
Infectious disease is that guy from school who asked for a second paper to write on during an exam.
That "strong work" made me so unimaginably happy for the student.

Infectious Disease notes just casually be like "She inherited a red-billed Quelea on the first Tuesday of March in 1998"

This makes House feel a little more accurate. Gotta have those weird cases to keep infections disease busy
Let's see ... Rabies, leprosy, Legionnaire's disease, histoplasmosis...

Just wait until Infectious Disease hears about Texaco Mike.
As an infectious disease specialist it makes me laugh how long are my consults in comparison to others 😂 I want ID jail in my hospital!
Dude who drinks raw milk and fosters armadillos has both tuberculosis and leprosy... Truly unfortunate.

He went for quality over quantity. He's going places.

For the people who don't believe this : doctor house has a double specialty in infectious disease and nephrology
