Happy Infectious Diseases Pharmacists Day!

Im on medicine wards & the culture change is remarkable. Todays trainees know to give abx for 3-7 not 10-14 d, & know that oral works. They're genuinely surprised that this was controverial not long ago. So for all you abx warriors out there, just keep swimming. It gets better!
