Then there were those three posts where I accused a world-famous rock star of using someone else's work and failing to give proper credit: Hovern Engan, Hovern Engan II, and Hovern Engan III.
And finally, my own favorite post. No special reason.

Thank you all for your support!

Congratulations, T!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading some of these old posts!
Wow! 250, what a milestone. My favorites? Posts on faith and medicine.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
T. although "Book of Joe" is the first anesthesiologist's blog, yours is undoubtedly the best. You have transcended our parochial craft in your writing and in doing so, have brought our specialty a little respect and raised blogging to an art. I think, as I prepare my talk on anesthesia blogs for the ASA, that the best part of our blog is that it led me to yours; heck, I even stole some of your colors! Thanks for the inspiration. My favorite posts, by the way, were probably your trip to France; I used to go back to them sometimes when I needed a break; haven't been for a while, though...
ReplyDeleteOystein, Kathleen, and Mitch - thank you very much for your support. One of the most wonderful aspects of this genre is the emergence of a new way to connect with colleagues and, in some fortunate cases, new friends.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of whom, Mitch - special thanks must go to you for your encouragement these past 16 months. I didn't realize just how this adventure would unfold, and you've been supremely generous and kind to me throughout. I'm humbled by your praise! Thank you! Glad to know, too, that there's someone else out there who takes refuge in some of the same blogspots - a little village in Normandy, a walk through the streets of Paris... :)
