Episode description

We sit down with vitreoretinal surgeon Dr. Tim Olsen to discuss screening for fungal endophthalmitis. Where did the traditional screening dogma originate and why? What are the potential harms from excessive screening? And finally, what do we do with this information when working with other medical specialties?
