I have this irresistible urge to write, in case nobody noticed. I have a fledging Swedish blog under a pseudonym I won’t tell you about, but I finally decided to use Facebook, not just to keep in touch with my family in Sweden and my children, but for people who want to know what’s up in my life. So, under my own name, I do write things about my life, my pets and reflections that don’t fit on A Country Doctor Writes. But, as I wrote in one early post, I don’t want to be friends with a gazillion people because I really don’t have the space to read lots of updates. If somebody wants to know what is going on in the private ruminations of this country doctor, it’s there.
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”.

But I do like for people to buy my books. 2 starter links on Dykers.com. Plus one I know you can use: “How To Be A Happy Former Smoker(Even If You Don’t Want To)”. It contains some very helpful insights for my fellow physicians as well as for patients.
