Dear Reader,
My name is Danny. I have an MD and PhD (biomedical engineering) from The Ohio State University. My field is child neurology and I started residency at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio in 2017. I took a long and circuitous route to my career, but it was worth the journey. On the weekends I play guitar and piano for the dopest ’90s cover band in town!
My goal for this blog is to describe my experiences as a young physician both in and out of clinical practice. So much of my life outside the hospital shapes how I practice medicine and, vice versa, my experiences in the hospital (which can range fully from joy to sadness and are almost always profound) influence my personal life. However, I do not intend on this being a journal, but rather a series of essays that I hope are both informative and moving.
Here are a few things I am passionate about and will likely form the themes of this blog: science-based and evidence-based practice of medicine, fighting medical quackery, social justice and global health, the latest science news items, my cat named Richard Feynman, Cleveland sports, and (of course) rock and roll!
I hope you enjoy taking part in this journey with me.
Danny
Right on Brother, rip it up !

Murakoze, Danny!

I hope you will quote me warmly & accurately and only include pics from my best angle. See you soon, Dad!
This is one blog I surely will follow. My one regret in life was not joining the peace corp. I am so proud of you for doing what you do!
You must be the oldest young doctor to think out loud. Looking forward to reading the blog!
Age is just a number, right? Perhaps I will have a unique perspective!
