This blog may document some of my adventures in medical education. It will also serve as a commonplace book of thought provoking media. All patient identifying information has been intentionally changed or omitted. While the details recorded here are modified, my overall experience remains true.

Also important to fully explore the family and social context of my patient's drinking.
