Some changes are coming to the blog – a new layout along with a new title. It’s been five years since I started this thing, and I’ve never updated it.

The new title is “Status Hazmaticus,” which for those of you not in medicine is a play on the phrase “status asthmaticus” – a person who is having an intractable asthma attack. The hazmat part (hazardous materials) is because:

• I still really like tox;
• A medical student (and, soon, new intern) is a horrifying danger to all those around them.

Also, it sounds cool.
