Re: John Ronquillo has Passed away
Hey GB, isn’t it a little creepy that we see obituaries for folks aged within a couple of years of us these days? Nothing is promised.

Re: John Ronquillo has Passed away

what I'm starting to run into more and more is people who I've known and worked with for years in my field..........retiring. Seems like just yesterday we were the new guys just getting started.

Re: John Ronquillo has Passed away
admittedly I check the obituaries every morning; first, to see if there are any of my patients there (rheumatologists have lots of older patients, since arthritic diseases are far more common as one gets older). Then I check to see if I'm in it...
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?
