I have published well over 500 posts on A Country Doctor Writes since I started blogging over ten years ago. Right now I am pretty much posting something new twice a week. But I thought I’d put a “rerun” of an older post up every day (or almost every day) for the next year to allow frequent visitors to see older posts that would take lots of WordPress Infinite Scrolling or scrolling down the “Archive” to get to. The one I am pinning to the front page today is called “The Power of Words“.
I just realized none of the posts show on an iPad or a computer, but they do show on an iPhone. WordPress is working on this. In the meantime, please visit my Substack.
Osler said “Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis”. Duvefelt says “Listen to your patient, he is telling you what kind of doctor he needs you to be”.
