Nicholas Genes of…well, multiple sites of fame, including recurring columns in several EM publications, SAEM leadership, and the long-standing medical blog “blogborygmi” beat me to this ACEP News item from today:
MedPage Today (12/9, Walsh) reports that a study presented in a poster session at the midyear clinical meeting of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) found that only 64% of the patients presenting to the emergency department with animal bites “were discharged on the appropriate antibiotic.”
I won’t attempt to replicate his scathing criticism of ACEP News for publicizing a poster from an interim pharmacy conference, just read it for yourself:
