Wayfaring MD's Ramblings

*Formerly Dr. Shutterbug's Ramblings

I write about medicine, medical school, missions, my cat Lucille, and whatever else strikes my fancy.


HIPAA is for reals, folks. All of my "patient stories" have been changed to protect patient privacy. I will change any or all identifiers, including age, location, race/ethnicity, sex, medical history, and quotes.


All my ridiculous quotes and stories are real, though. They all happened to somebody, just not the person I say it is.

Who I Follow
No, I did not make this madness. A classmate of mine did. But I sho nuff printed it out and hung it on my wall. For those who care, this is what we call “The Big Picture”. It’s how glycolysis (glucose breakdown to pyruvate), gluconeogenesis (making glucose from pyruvate), glycogenisis (making glycogen from glucose), glycogenolysis (breaking down glycogen into glucose), the TCA cycle (making energy for the electron transport chain), fatty acid production and degradation, ketone body formation, and the electron transport chain (making energy for you!)all interact with each other. It’s intense. And I have to memorize it. yay.
As of now, I’ve got glycolysis and gluconeogenesis down. maybe a little TCA. eek. and yet I still take time to update this blog. Hmmmmm….
P.S. How awesome was the weather today? Wonderful temperature, no overwhelming sun to heat up my car.
