I’m a full-time pediatric hospitalist (that means I work for the hospital, seeing patients in the ER and in the hospital) and part-time locum tenens pediatrician (that means I work in other doctors’ offices when they can’t) and webmaster for the Young Israel of St. Louis. I try to maintain the site between patients in the early morning; hence the blog name.
I was a computer hacker long ago (think manually entering the boot code on the front panel switches of a PDP-11) but went to medical school in 1987 and watched the dot-com boom whiz right past me. I love what I do, though and wouldn’t change it for the world.
I also maintain a bilirubin management site, for physician caring for babies with jaundice, and I wrote a chemical kinetics simulation program in graduate school, that some people still find useful.
