The Disclaimer

This is a weblog, most commonly referred to as a "blog". The opinions and thoughts expressed here represent my own and are NOT those of my employer, any associations, or any volunteer organizations I am a member of.

In addition, my thoughts and opinions will change from time to time. While some may see this as detrimental and may at times appear hypocritical, it is a necessity to maintain an open minded mentality which is in my (current) opinion more important than defending out dated thoughts and opinions with voracity. Change is not automatically a bad thing, but quite contrary a necessity in the grand scheme of evolution as individuals, organizations, professions, and society as a whole.

Stories on this weblog concerning patients is HIPAA compliant. Those stories have been changed dramatically to remove patient identifiers including name, sex, geographical locations, date, time, and sex. Any similarities to real patients, living or deceased, is purely a coincidence.
