Finally, after a year since I moved out of my house, and after 18 months of 100mile round trips to work, I’ve got a completion date for Tuesday next week! Can’t wait to get to work on making it mine! 🏡

Such a busy night shift last night, think I did 30 positive blood cultures, 5 CSF’s, 5 urgent joint fluids, half a dozen calls, twice just after I’d stuffed my mouth full of food!
I had a great time though, forgot how much I’d missed nights! 🦠🧫🥼

Not the best picture in the world, but E.coli growing on CRE chromogenic, Big 5 genes negative on cepheid, AmpC and ESBL on combi discs, is there another mechanism in play that anyone can think of for the mero and erta resistance? #IDSKY
