The joy of Archimedes is the breadth of what it covers. For instance, have you ever considered the management of NTM lymphedenits with MAC? (That’s not a sneaky way of getting a cosmetics company to sponsor our EBM slot.) If you’ve no idea what that last but one sentence means … listen on! If you have, listen on anyway!
