With this post I begin a rheumatology blog that I call "A Rheumatologist's Blog". Its purpose is to present for discussion key issues in rheumatology. I welcome my colleagues and others to join in these discussions. You can do do this by joining the site and adding your comments.

I welcome suggestions, that can come to me by email, about other subjects, and I certainly welcome your written views. I hope this site can be an open forum for discussion.
