Beginning

It seems that everyone is blogging these days, so I am not sure that this needed, except as a form of self-reflection, and to share my thoughts with a few friends. I'd like to try this as a forum for sharing experiences from my practice as a family physician in a diverse medical practice in a blue collar suburb of a midwestern city. Due to the need to preserve confidentiality, I have taken the liberty of changing names, combining identities and any other liberty I feel necessary to protect the identity of the people I am writing about.
