I am Deputy Editor for Residents at CORR. The fruits of 28 years of post-nursery school education are described here. Along with Christian Veillette , I help run this [site ]. My other (professional) interests are medical student education and medical economics . In my spare time, I practice orthopedic surgery.

Words I try to live by, with variable success:

  • "Keep your eyes on the prize. But first, define the prize" - Louis Adler
  • "Beware the hedonic treadmill." - Tim Johnson
  • "The man whose life is spent in performing a few simple operations becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become." --Adam Smith
  • "In a place where there are no men, strive to be a man." - Hillel the Wise

Things I try to recall when my papers get rejected:

  • "All significant truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." -Arthur Schopenhauer
  • "If you explain something to an orthopedic surgeon and he doesn't understand, he thinks YOU are an idiot" -Joe Lane
  • "You are not obliged to complete the work; but you are not absolved to abandon it either"-Avot
  • "Being one year head of the crowd is a sure fire way to make money; being ten years ahead is a sure fire way to lose money; and being twenty years ahead is a sure fire way to get crucified" --anon.
  • "E pur si muove" --Galileo.
  • "I am Defeated all the time; yet to Victory I am born" --Emerson.

Insomniacs are invited to read my blog

Many people post photos of ancient vintage, with more hair and fewer wrinkles than they've had in decades. I have just gone further than most.
