| | AllergyNotes Re: "fading out." That's why I stick to med education topics - a lifelong activity for me. Expect blogging to continue. Sorry to disappoint. | |
| | AllergyNotes Relationship between a med blogger activity & "fading out" - the most prolific ones who post on controversial topics flame out fast (1-2 yr) | |

 | grahamwalker Okay, fine, I mostly go to the gym so I can eat protein bars that taste like candy. | |
| | grahamwalker Don't send me a patient from your clinic without a note if the patient has no idea why he was sent, his med problems, or his meds. | |
