Hemodynamics is a blog I worked on mostly as a medical resident; I keep it up for historical interest only. Still I would keep the same description and disclaimer: This is a blog about the social world of medicine, and sometimes about other things that interest me. It is not a good place to seek medical advice. None of it should be read as medical advice.
This blog is no longer being updated.
