There are a lot of bloopers in shows featuring medical doctors. For doctors like us, such bloopers may be bordering on comedic. I’ve pointed some of these bloopers to my (non-doctor) brother and his response was that it was just a show, people won’t really remember the details of what the doctor did. [...]

Dr. Meloinks has posted a real challenge for the TBR12. I find myself staring at my computer screen and not really having an idea of what to put down.
When I passed the boards, I was so excited in joining the PMA, thinking that I’m joining the brotherhood of doctors.

Why Do I Blog? Let Me Count The Reasons…

Blogging keeps a record of my thoughts.
I could rave or rant about a lot of things.

Hi, everyone! It’s gonna be the 10th edition of The Blog Rounds by next week. I’m excited to be asked to host this one.
After deliberating on the subject matter, I’ve decided to tackle the Family. From some of my previous posts, you’d probably guess that my family is very important to me [...]

Throughout my medical education, I had people who were my teachers, and there were people who tormented me. When the subject of Mentor-Tormentor came up, there was only one person I can think of. One person I would be eternally grateful to, because I believe it was under him that I learned the [...]

I made this quiz for the things I usually tell my patients. I wonder how I would do in it.

Less fat and oils
Less salt
Less monosodium glutamate
