I'm Dr. Joshua Schwimmer, a nephrologist and internal medicine physician in New York City. • Kidney Notes was the first active nephrology blog. (Trivia: Kidney Notes is so old that the National Library of Medicine still uses it as an example of how to formally cite blogs.) • Professionally, you can find me at Kidney.nyc. • Kidney Notes is for educational purposes only, not medical advice.

Story of the Day: CPR Class
CPR Instructor: "Okay, so you're walking down the street, and you see someone laying on the ground. What do you do?"
Participant: "Well, you'd call 911, check for breathing..."
CPR Instructor: "No! You do the 'Brooklyn Step.' You walk right over the guy. You don't know him, he doesn't owe you money, you just keep walking..."
(As told by a friend.)
