Yup, it’s hard to have a good discussion about the changing tides in ID without feeling like you’re causing a bunch of backsliding and non-compliance. I think being honest with people that the data is generally poor about how we select durations is the moral thing to do. But I do want you to just take your damn antibiotics as prescribed instead of going rouge because you heard “shorter is better” and your pneumonia recurring.
