After long overdue, I am hopping on the #tweetorial bandwagon @tony_breu @AdamRodmanMD. So here goes nothing! #FOAMed #MedEd #Physiology I’ve often been told not to order an ESR because it is a nonspecific test. In fact, our hospital doesn’t even run it anymore, it's a send-out!

So, what are the factors that influence ESR to make it non-specific?
