March 2007

Whew. It is good to have grand rounds out of the way.  I honestly was at a loss of how to tie in Tom and Jerry to the posts without making it seem contrived.  I was glad for the flash of inspiration when it came.  I did not want to break my promise with C. [...]

"Daddy, you should do a Tom and Jerry blog." How can I resist those eyes. A 7-year old (who looks like Cindy-Loo Who) has special powers over the dominant male in her household. Any of you men out there with daughters know what I mean. It is like they hold your remote-control. Yes, it is [...]

For the very kind folks who have called my blog a "thinking" blog, I want to set you straight.  Thinking is a hobby that I occasionally participate in.  I emphatically deny making a regular habit of thinking.  It is just something that happens on occasion…mostly by accident. So, what can I do to convince you [...]

I know it. You know it. Harvard guys are just smart. Dang smart. So I figure that when a guy from the "Big-H" puts his mind to solving healthcare, it is done with the grace of a Michael Jordan slam dunk. He just makes it look easy. Hmmm… Harvard economist proposes team approach on healthcare [...]

Vijay over at Scan Man’s Notes has accused me of thinking.  As faithful readers of this blog (God bless both of you – especially you, Mom) would attest, I do my best to keep the thinking stuff to a minimum.  I much prefer posts about goats, monkeys, or passing gas to any of that thinking [...]

I have done a hard thing recently. I have stopped watching my numbers. Many have encouraged me to stop doing so – especially the female readers who seem to have a healthier view of blogging.  For me, reading these numbers has become an obsession.  I see who visits, where they are from, where I have [...]

I have to make a confession. I am bitter. I know this may sound strange for those who know my usual laid-back demeanor, but I am really frustrated with how it seems my profession is under-valued. What I am talking about is the widening salary gap between primary care physicians and specialists. The Problem In [...]
