We were able to do UA to reflex so at least no culture without pyuria. I wanted to make it so everyone that orders a UA (regardless of indication) gets an electric shock. HR said I cant do that. Sigh...

Arendt's ideas are essential. She was a fierce thinker and should be taught widely. I will say, her books are not an easy read by any measure. Highly recommend some secondary sources before diving into, especially Origins. I recommend "Why read Hannah Arendt now" by Richard Bernstein.

There is something profoundly anti democratic/plutocratic about how expensive sporting event and concert tickets have gotten. What average income American family can afford these? No entertainment or culture for the common folk I guess...what could go wrong?

Early career advice hot take. Say "No" a lot. Unless you're passionate about it, drop it. Learn to say "No" early. Your time is by far your most valuable asset. Everything you say "yes" to is a "no" to something else.

My hot take is, if someone test positive for a virus and they're not destroyed and you can monitor, cool to withhold abx. Being all of nothing with either posture seems... procrustean? Is that what is being argued? I haven't kept up with this debate

Can you give me the TL:DR? Also what's your practice? If virus positive and low procal do nothing? Don't bother with procal? I still find CAP confusing as far as what causes it lol

Nice! I believe there's already some data looking at that? Maybe not RCT though. IIRC they were equivalent.

As much as I love those topics, and frankly who doesn't, you really want to keep it practical for them. And for better or worse ulcers and osteomyelitis are going to be the bulk of what they see.
