David and Kevin present some old favorites

Almost 2 years ago, David and I started IDDx with the humble hope of turning this site into a blogging powerhouse that could be our one-way ticket out of the obvious career dead-end that is medicine. Clearly that has not happened. But we have still managed to build (and re-build) a loyal following of readers that have somehow found our inane drivel to be entertaining (or at least interesting in a car crash-y kind of way). We thought this would be an appropriate time to revisit some of our old posts as a kind of year-end-review and maybe serve as a best-of (or worst-of, as the case may be with Jess) list for the newer readers. (Re)Enjoy.
