Medpundit says farewell.
This news is...huge.
But I do understand. As Dr. Dinah says,
"I no longer have the time needed to devote to (the blog). The phrase 'declining reimbursement and rising overhead,' is repeated so often in medicine that it seems a cliche, but it's also a reality. I'm spending longer hours at work and seeing more patients to support my office and my family. The 1-2 hours a day it takes to keep up the blog are no longer there. I don't have any hope of that getting better in the foreseeable future. In fact, I anticipate that in the next 1-2 years, I'll be adding even more office hours until I've reached the limits of my physical and mental capabilities."Medpundit, you've inspired so many of us. I'm truly sorry to see you go.
But I do understand. As Dr. Dinah says,
Now I don't just write a blog, I read other people's blogs: it's like throwing Time in the fire and watching it burn.

Going to be such a loss for the blogosphere
This is a loss, indeed, though I suspect to see cameo appearances from Medpundit in Comments around the 'sphere. It is difficult to go cold turkey. One needs a place to be able to relax, let the hair down, and reach out to others. Even if it's not *your* place, one can still visit others'. Private practice, as many of us know, can be a very lonely place.
