When I first started this blog, I also took on the task of building a medical practice in NYC as well as keeping my practice in Los Angeles. I travelled weekly between LA and NYC, I started clinical research work  in NYC, and took on new teaching responsibilities in NYC. In early May 2009, William , my son, was born. This turned out to be a lot for one person, so I gave up blogging. Now, I am a little more steady, so I decided to start again.  For those who come back reading this blog, I am sorry it took so long. For my new readers, a warm welcome. Stay tuned. Bisher
