Blake's Inaugural Blog... "Smackdown" style

I am miserably full...and not from the hobo dinners I ate a couple of hours ago.  It is from all "the crow" I ate for dessert.  As of 2200 hours, I have stepped into the "Blogosphere Portal"

Waiting at the portal's other end was my family's "smackdown".  They reminded my that this blog action is not that much different than FaceBook.  That hurt and I asked them for some aloe vera gel...stat! They will quickly tell you that "Dad" has nothing good to say about FaceBook and likens the social networking site to a self-serving Christmas Letter on steroids!

So here is the deal!  I am willing to take the abuse if my blog accomplishes the following: Firstly, the approach will be well, let's just say, "NOT about me" (see me on Facebook...NOT!) However, It IS about events of late that have had a huge personal and sometime very painful impact on me and my family.  I am confident that I have enough material to blog thru oh...I don't know, maybe Arbor Day of 2013.  I will re-assess and make an informed decision about the availability of common nonsense.

Now, here is where the whole "self serving" disclaimer that comes into play.  The risk in sharing these experiences is that they may come across like the Christmas letter afore mentioned.  But, if you stick with me, the blog's subject will hopefully be singular in nature.
The arena will simply be my personal insights into patient health care (see "events of late" above for a clue).

It is my hope that as a parent of children struggling with recent health issues, a washed up drug rep with insights about big pharma, a pharmacist now standing behind the counter, and finally just a guy who is woefully disappointed into the optimal delivery of health care today, I can be your advocate in the blogosphere. If not, I am all open to a book deal!

Your Rx is waiting...Blake

  2. Dad,
    Nice work! This post definitely makes up for the almost fire you started with the BBQ grill tonight. Consider this your official "welcome" to the Blogosphere. Can't wait for the up and coming posts.
