I find myself very frustrated with #Medicare.

Why do they cover my patients going on IV antibiotics to a transitional care unit and not home?

Seems like a good cost savings opportunity

Many patients also frustrated…

We started this journey together 2 years ago…

@idsainfo.bsky.social here we come!

Before I started medical school, I had always wanted to be an ID doc…

4 years medical school
3 years IM residency
2 years ID fellowship

Here we are… done ✅

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.

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

Great talk this morning from @natebahrid.bsky.social with @umn-idim.bsky.social on “Diagnostics in TB Meningitis”

Lots of good work done, more still needed to improve our sensitivity in diagnosis.

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…

Another exceptional day advocating for our patients at the MN Capitol!

Great to meet with @epmurphymn.bsky.social, Rep. Dave Pinto, & Mayor Carter!
