There must be a law that the first post of any blog must be something introducing the author or explaining what the point is or my favorite "This is my blog" to prove that grandpa knows how to login. In that vein, I'm Matt Zuckerman. I'm an academic emergency physician with a special interest in medical toxicology. I also have a life outside of work that keeps me going and keeps my work full of life. There will not be regular posts to this blog. It is more there as a sounding board for me to collect ideas that have been rattling around. I hope the rattle doesn't bother you too much, but as with so much that's online, you're only ever one click away from a speedy exit.
