The daily journal of a medical student. Contained within are clinical pearls and pitfalls, diagnoses and differentials, evidence and uncertainty, hypotheses and heuristics, reflections and revelations, questions and quandaries, theories and tangents, notes and nuances, and the occasional victory.

Content is a mixture of medicine, literature, PC gaming, politics, music, language, botany, sailing, micromastery, lifekit, and anything else encountered in the search for a personal renaissance.

Inspiration for the blog comes from a Humans of New York interview with a man who introduced the concept of a “personal curriculum”. I read this during college and was deeply impacted by the idea of a purposeful, self-directed inquiry separate from formal study. Learning for the sake of learning. The interview has been lost to time but the spirit of it permeates the other interviews linked above.
