1 - Hey y'all, if you have an osteo or endocarditis patient, and you're a hospitalist in a rural area without ID around for >1 hour, do you end up sending them to follow up with a local PCP to monitor interval CRP/ESR (osteo)? Or do you make sure they see an ID doc even if the distance is significant?
2 - If you treat these patients without an ID consult (lack of ID at your hospital, etc), does this make a significant difference in your choice?
