JP's Internal Medicine Page

I'm an internal medicine doctor working as a nocturnist. Sometimes I like to make things with python but most of my life is medicine and raising my young family. I have many posts about teaching my toddler to read at a younger age than is probably wise.

New look

I finally figured out how to get the html to a blank state so I could start from scratch with how the web site looks.  Thanks to Subin at https://subinsb.com/make-a-blank-blogger-template.

I have been more focused recently on just trying to absorb a bunch of medicine and making my way through a stack of JAMAs. So much to learn. Maybe I'll start listing what I am focusing on here. Other ideas have been to keep a list of upcoming interesting studies that are being done to resolve specific questions (I haven't been able to find a good resource elsewhere other than the very very broad general databases the government runs).  Someone had asked if there was a centralized area to look up CME conferences.  I don't think there is and so that might be a somewhat useful thing to try to make (although not very interesting).

No recent big programming projects.  I was working on a scraper but the time : benefit ratio didn't seem to be worth it at this time, though I did get to learn how to use some python scraping modules.  I stopped after I had scraped the links to Annals of Internal Medicine and was in the process of adding JAMA, NEJM, but the problem is that there is still too much further sorting to be done on what is important or relevant to me.



Any questions, comments, critiques? I'd love to hear from people at jpmax7 at gmail.com
