Why Don't I Respond to Online Comments?

It's really a matter of time. I just don't have enough of it to respond to every single comment made on the blogs, videos, and webpages I have made over the years. As of today, I have written 1466 blog articles , 1000+  webpages , and produced 95 videos . That also means I get a lot of comments on a daily basis... About 50 comments per day.

Since 2005, it has received more than 13 million views. Of these, there has…

According to a recent paper, the answer is absolutely! A survey was distributed via email to a random sample of 1695 practicing physicians in the United States in March 2011 with responses from 485 physicians (28.61%).

Website Development Help

Given how extensive the practice website is (250+ webpages; 1300+ if including blog ), I often get asked by patients and other offices how did I go about developing it. First off, I am fortunate that I have some computer programming skills and have been creating websites since the 1990s. I have decent HTML knowledge with a dash of CSS understanding. I am clueless with  making new javascripts, but know how to use ones that have been already created. As such this baseline knowledge of …
