I wonder how he got hospital credentials (to say nothing of access to primary, secondary, collegiate, or medical school) without Hepatitis B, MMR, and DTaP. Or was there no social media audience to witness his grandstanding back then? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Rituximab and risk of HBV re-activation
[you guys probably give way more rituximab than I do.]
You know how you're supposed to get a hepatitis panel before starting rituximab, so what if the panel is positive for the inactive chronic charier state of HBV? (+HBsAg , +HBcAb , but undetectable viral load, normal liver enzymes).
Could you still give the rituximab? Or is even the inactive carrier state of HBV (negative PCR, negative LAEs) a contraindication? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Chances of MD with active Hep B?
Hi SDN,
I am seeking some advice/opinions on the viability of having a fulfilling medical career as a physician if I have chronic Hepatitis B. I was born oversea and got it via vertical transmission. I've read posts from prospective MDs who are carriers inquiring about their chances into med school. While those thread give great advice and outlook, I find them hard to relate to because my infection is very much active (though, managed) and can't be denied nor hidden away until...

Hepatitis C treatment, why isn't family medicine doing more of it?
I know some do it all the time as part of their practice but the general tendency is to refer out. Why? Treatment is not overly complex, you don't have lots of different drug choices like with HIV, side effects are minimal with the new meds and treatment is short term. So why not do it?

Likelihood of Contracting Life Long Diseases from Healthcare Work
How often do healthcare workers contract lifelong infectious diseases from working in health care. I'm talking about things like hepatitis and HIV.
I recently learned that a friend that I'm very close to has one of these diseases and it makes me scared to hug them in case they might have tiny open sores. Etc.
Is this worry reasonable in medicine? I read a thread a while back of surgeons putting themselves in harm's way often when blood splatters from operations (Source: Student Doctor Network)
