About The Blog


Medicine, healthcare policy, and random commentary from a medical student still on the naive side of the fence.
I'm a third year medical student in Texas.

I did my undergrad work in USC's School of Cinema-Television Cinematic Arts. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Writing for Screen & Television. I loved it, but a future of waiting tables and taking meetings with B-List producers was not for me.

This blog is ostensibly to discuss healthcare policy and maybe educate a few of my fellow medical students. But it will stray into current events, politics, and other science topics when they draw my interest



Other odd notes about me:
