After following @ffolliet for years on Twitter hearing him speak for the first time at @WessexICS #WICS19 he did not disappoint, with the best talk I have heard in years. It’s true that we are all broken at some point, what matters is how we repair ourselves & others #kintsugi twitter.com/ffolliet…

Powerful message from Zudin: we have bundles for VAP, CRBSI, and VTE, and yet we don’t look at acquired weakness despite it having an incidence of 50%. #WICS19
