[HSF] endocarditis and AIDS

[Pigott, John D III]

Our ID fellow claimed 20 year survival with HAART; his staff ID attending said to tell us 50 years!  So, my interpretation is that they will say anything to get us to operate.  My partner replaced the valve today.  More updates later.

Never underestimate the bravado of the noncombatant.
