what are some of your "mark my words" predictions for updates to Best Practice/SOP guidelines?

If you have any.

What do you think is currently a matter of practice preferences that is going to change into a standard recommendation across the board?

Lots of debates on management, but I'm curious about different perspectives in different fields.

Anything you're calling now?
Have you been right about anything in the past? I've been right about pain management in IUD insertions. Quite chuffed.

My own prediction atm is HSV-1 symptom management. I know, spicy.
Only clinicians who I find share my sentiments are ophthalmologists. They're quick to write a valacyclovir script.

I'm in Aus - not sure how yanks do it, but most pts I run into are not aware the drug exists and can be taken proactively. They are very happy to find out. We can destigmatise without minimising the issues, IMO.

We hand out masks and anti-viral medication. Especially for street medicine - lots of opportunistic impetigo from untreated outbreaks.

curious to hear yours!
