One of the challenging aspects of writing this blog is that there is so much interesting material in the ID\/HIV world that sometimes I forget to cover critical items.<\/p>\n

Example: the winner of the most recent ID Cartoon Caption Contest<\/em>, which I’m embarrassed to admit, has been awaiting its announcement since late 2016.<\/a><\/p>\n

The winner:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

“He was ready to go 6 days ago but I can\u2019t find \u2018discharge\u2019 on the menu.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s a great caption, trouncing the very strong competition of 3 other finalists by garnering 62% of the vote.<\/p>\n

But I confess we here at NEJM Journal Watch were torn between this one and\u00a0\u201cHave you tried switching him off and back on again?,\u201d which we thought would finish stronger than its 13% of the total vote.<\/p>\n

Concerned, we asked our\u00a0crack team of cybersecurity experts to investigate further, and we’re proud to announce there was no Russian meddling in the voting process. Hence, the winner is clear.<\/p>\n

So congratulations to Steve V., who submitted the top caption! As I’m sure he’s aware, he’s the winner of a lifetime free subscription to this blog, good in all 50 states and US Territories. If Steve V. is from another country, he can continue to access the blog provided he has a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate.<\/p>\n

Now, onto the next contest. Some of us in the ID\/HIV world will be coming to Boston for CROI<\/a> this week, but fortunately my skilled collaborator Anne Sax not only isn’t<\/em> attending CROI, she also has no idea what “CROI” even is.<\/p>\n

Working together (my idea, 100% her drawing), we’ve come up with the doctor-patient encounter displayed below, perhaps inspired by last week’s Nor’easter.<\/p>\n

As before, write your proposed caption in the comments section, or\u00a0pop it on my Twitter feed<\/a>\u00a0— or, if you’re feeling shy, email it to me at\u00a0id.caption@yahoo.com.<\/p>\n

Good luck!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
