Let’s play a little game, just between us physicians, shall we? Are you offended by the implication that you, as a lawful prescriber, are to blame for the opioid epidemic? Are you tired of the government telling you how you should practice medicine–all because of the actions of the criminal and the irresponsible? Are you […]
[Ed: We are happy to post another insightful article by our pediatrician-in-residence, ‘Dr. Latebloomer’, which just appeared September 28 in GATDaily.] We’ve all heard the adage “Physician Heal Thyself”. This ancient proverb was originally intended as an admonition to mind one’s own problems rather than advising others on theirs. Physicians (even ancient world ones) have […]
[Ed: Our own ‘Dr. LateBloomer’ also writes for GAT Daily, from which we are reposting yesterday’s article with permission. We are very appreciative about how widely 2ADoc.com is being publicized.] Have you ever been frustrated (or outraged) by your physician’s invasive questions about your firearms?

Being a pediatrician, I am always on the look-out for new products related to firearms and children. So, it was with great interest that I recently ordered three new books for children, which pertain to firearms and firearm safety. The newest of the three is a just-released book by Julie Golob, entitled, Toys, Tools, Guns […]
I personally am getting heartsick over reading stories like this. “Accidents” such as this one are not really accidents. They are more like negligence.

Surely no one gets out of bed in the morning announcing that they intend to […]
