Agraphia Medical Tragicomedy

About

I'm a senior emergency medicine resident at a major level 1 trauma center in the southeast. I will say that it’s one of those programs that usually shows up on national top-10 lists, but I’ll only go that far.  In my free time (of which I have little) I write this blog, cook, do research, and try to get out running as often as possible.

This blog is not meant to provide any sort of medical advice whatsoever, no matter how definitively I may claim something in a post. I write in hyperbole, which means that truths have been stretched, keeping the original spirit of the story.

Please note, I love writing, but HIPAA is strict.  All names are changed, all dates are changed, and I always take creative license with the stories - both for legal reasons and for the sake of good storytelling.  As such, even if you think a post is about you, it's not.

If you’re dropping by for the first time, welcome! I truly enjoy writing this blog and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do. Feel free to drop an email or check out my Best Of category.

I don't track or otherwise collect any data on my users, aside from vanilla wordpress and google analytics stats.

Feel free to email me at agraphia.mailbag@gmail.com if you have questions, want to chat, or have lucrative book-signing deals you want to discuss :)

    This is a wonderful read.
    I am a doctor, doing mba now and have bid adieu to medicine for good. Your blog made me miss it. Real bad.
    I hope you get your deserving break. Keep writing.
