New Look!
I gave the site a new look today. Whaddya think? The banner is from James Gillray’s “The Gout”.

Great News!
I was able to submit my grant after all! My letter-writer contacted the relevant people at the Arthritis Foundation just before the deadline and let them know that he was having trouble getting his letter uploaded to the site. I’m very glad to say that they were willing to give me a short extension, and…

Happy Labor Day!
I’m working all weekend. I hope you aren’t. Actually, I’m not unhappy to be working. I’m doing some moon-lighting, so I’m making some decent bucks, seeing as it’s the holiday weekend and all. That means I’m that much closer to new car. I’m still driving the Honda Civic that I bought in 1992! It’s run…

Disaster Strikes!
Well, I hope it’s not a complete disaster, but it is a very unfortunate event. I had a grant due today. Now, this was not a huge grant; just enough to support some of my salary next year so that I can keep doing some research and try to develop a career. But it’s not…

Making Mistakes
I want to dive into a new area today and actually talk about some things I’ve seen in the clinic and in the hospital to try to illustrate some ‘greater truths’. I do this with a little trepidation as I’m a staunch believer in patients’ rights to privacy and talking about an individual patient’s problems…

Goodbye GG! We’ll miss ya!
We had a death in clinic this week. Not a patient. Our nursing assistant, GG (I’m not sure if it’s worth keeping up this anonymous nonsense, but I guess I started it; I might as well stick with it.) died suddenly and totally unexpectedly. Apparently she felt bad on Tuesday night and went to lie…

Apologies
I’m a little behind on my blogging. My plan was to try to get in at least two posts on weekends, and a few throughout the work week, but this weekend Mrs. C and I are up at my parents. It’s turned into a little family reunion with all my brothers and sisters here, not…

A Slow Tuesday
Nothing really caught my attention today that I feel I just have to blog about. Same old mideast violence; will Lieberman be nominated by the Dems; same old stuff at work; nothing really catching my attention. I guess I can comment on a new experience this morning. I got to be ‘the expert’. For the…
