A sad day indeed. She was one of the reasons why I started this blog. Best of luck in the future, Dr. Sydney:

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.
