Episode 12 - The Bundle
Show notes
This episode kicks off a new recurring series we’re calling Bundles — a grab bag of ID-adjacent topics we’re reading, noticing, and trying to make sense of. And for the first time, I’m not hosting alone. Joining me is Dr. Brooke Fraser, a general internist and newly minted infectious diseases physician.
Together we tackle four prompts:
- Educational tool: How ChatGPT can help organize and synthesize infectious disease knowledge and Indiana University ID Fellowship Bluesky account (https://bsky.app/profile/iuidfellowship.bsky.social)
- Recent literature: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in Ontario/Quebec and RSV’s link to cardiovascular events
- Non-ID perspective: Books that shaped our thinking: Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green and How to Talk to a Science Denier by Lee McIntyre
- Something new we learned: Rabies risk from North American wildlife and TMP-SMX-induced thrombocytopenia
This episode ranges wide, but circles back to what matters in practice and education.
