Last week I evaluated a child whose mother had found me through this Google mug post.

The funny thing is that my site offered no information about her child’s perplexing celiac serology. While I didn’t deliver what was searched, she found what she needed.

When I began publishing ideas about technology and health there was no intent to attract patients. But despite my unique focus, what’s here says a lot about me and the way I see the world. That can be valuable to patients.

In medicine logic can be more important than facts and a doctor’s thinking more important than his information.

Many doctors think that the only way they can present themselves to the world is through health information.

Not necessarily so.
