Okay, so a bunch of bloggers are posting about how funny the CDC Disease Cards are, but I have to admit, I think they’re kinda cool. I was really pulling for a coccidiodes (Valley fever!) or histoplasmosis (mimics TB). I am so lame.
This is a medical weblog--a collection of thoughts about medicine, medical training, and health policy--written by a fifth-year medical student.
I recently stopped blogging, as I graduated from medical school and I'm now a physician in my residency training in New York City. But feel free to read and enjoy!

I’m pretty lame, too… but I do think they’re pretty neat. It’s tough to educate the American public about things like diseases… somehow, trading cards, even though they’re kind of goofy, seems like a good idea.
