Testing, Testing, 1,2,3...
I'm not even sure how to do this anymore. And I doubt anyone is still listening. But apparently, Blogger will let blogs lie dormant for 2 years + without shutting them down. Huh. Who knew?
The danger in that is that inevitably, after practicing emergency medicine for 2.5 years, things will eventually wear you down enough that they will come boiling to the surface in a tsunami of resentment, irritation and rage at... well, everyone. At patients, at their families, at other doctors, at various support staff, at administration, at politicians... no one is safe.
And then, even if you thought you'd never blog again, you find yourself longing for an outlet... something that isn't satisfied by the soundbites generated by a Twitter account.
I may be back. Unless I can talk myself out of it.

I have witnessed that clever real estate agents all over the place are starting to warm up to FSBO Promotion. They are recognizing that it's not just placing a sign in the front area. It's really with regards jakarta hotel to building associations with these dealers who one of these days will become buyers. So, once you give your time and energy to aiding these traders go it alone the "Law associated with Reciprocity" kicks in. Good blog post.

I am so glad you have resumed blogging. I chanced on your blog as my daughter was applying for her dream residency FRCPC in ER Medicine -and got in. Now she is going through all the usual struggles (currently PGY2). I strongly urged her to read your blog as it was real-time and very relevant to any woman who wishes to make a career in this exciting area of medicine. THANK YOU and best wishes. Perhaps you can comment on how female ER docs reconcile parenthood with their careers ?

Hello Dr. Couz,
I am a recent grad from a Canadian university. For my Masters thesis I completed a narrative analysis of blogs written by medical residents, including you. I am now in the process of writing a manuscript and would like permission to include excerpts from your blog as part of my analysis/discussion. Please contact me at spotteddog09@yahoo.ca so we can discuss this further. I really enjoyed reading your blog. Sincerely, KB.
