R/askvet question about which animal would be rudest
This got deleted but the answer is clearly geese
Not a new discovery really, but sharing that if you carefully cut a 3x5 index card in half, you can get it to fit into a standard playing card sleeve, which is great for rapid prototyping. #gamedev 🎲✂️
Is the rabies hypothetical or is there actually a recorded case of giraffe-transmitted rabies???

Chart of trends in recovered organs from circulatory deaths
The number of organs available for donation has risen massively in the past five years.
It seems to be the result of technological advances in preserving organs after circulatory death.

High yield facts!
Bonus. I learned a new word today! :)
Thanks!
Link not working for me. 😔
I had an attending that said we should put statins in the tap water. Mostly jokingly. Mostly.
Seems like starting the CDI recurrence monitoring date as day 1 of vanc may have not been the best approach unless there was a good reason to think C diff would relapse during the taper?
As others have pointed out, given this, it seems like at day 90 the tapered patients started to catch up. 🫤
It's slightly better if it only costs slightly more!
Me in the Matrix, holding out my hands, offering two options: a statin or nothing.
Please appreciate our YouTube thumbnail. Thank you.

Ha. Don't blame us (ID), it's the microbiologists! At least they kept C. diff as C. diff in their mercy.
Have you seen what they did to Candida? 😵
Don't forget fakeyfaecalis, the least appreciated Enterococcus.
Oops. Meant *not* though I suppose an ice dancing gold would be appropriate retribution for taking out curling and biathlon.
