Finally, the infectious disease guide that I have been waiting for. Great organization, up to date information and best of all, context, not just lists. This is a great guide and allows me to educate myself appropriately before getting an ID consult! Thank you, Mark, for doing the heavy lifting. Where do you find the time?

Love this app
I’ve been listening to Mark Crislip’s ID podcasts for years and years. I’m an ED doc and have learned a ton of ID from Mark, including an overall philosophical approach to ID patients. I refer to this app often. It’s an absolute steal at $5.99. And I love that Mark’s irreverence comes through in this app, just like it does in his podcasts.

Rants are the best
Reading the rants section paid off the 6 dollars I spent on this app! I know that part is not what I am primarily meant to review but it is so good that I could not resist. The app otherwise appears helpful so far. I love author's puscast podcast. I'm not an ID doctor but both these resources are pretty helpful and this app is easy to navigate.
