About this Blog

My dad encouraged me to read Atul Gawande's "Better," which is a great book. The book focuses on improving performance in medicine and shows how this can be incredibly valuable, yet it is often overlooked. At the end, he has several recommendations for becoming a "positive deviant." One of them is to write. So that's what I'm doing. Actually, I'm basically completely copying my dad, who also started a blog after reading the book. Naturally, part of Gawande's point is to get people to write about how to improve performance, so I plan on doing that too; however, I plan to write about whatever topics happen to interest me, like the Superbowl, UNC basketball, and politics too.
