Today I learned that the Journal of Family Practice is ending. Its last editor died recently of a glioma. He was a mentor, teacher and friend of mine.

I wonder how long the specialty of Family Medicine (GP in UK terms) will survive. We did best in rural America and rural America is in very bad shape.

A more 'formal' introduction for #medmastodon. A #RuralGeneralist mainly doing #FamilyPractice and #Anaesthesia now as a locum #MedTwitter and #ScienceTwitter was invaluable to me as the guy at the pointy end of "if you have questions ask your doctor". Looking to replicate that here. Also like #Trains #ModelTrains #Skiing #Biking #Hiking #SciFi #Whovian #Foundation #LOTR. #Collingwood Magpies fan with all my teeth.

I have started with #Mastodon after a few year hiatus. I feels that a real #introduction is worth it especially as I am going to ditch #Twitter. #pinned
