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. Consult qualified health care professionals. See disclaimer.

“KidneyNotes started as an email list among friends and colleagues a few years ago. Several times weekly, I’d email links to articles I found interesting. To give you a sense, one of the first articles was about thyroid patients treated with radioactive iodine setting off newly installed radiation detectors in the subways of New York City. I sent out so many of these emails that someone suggested I start a blog, so I did. It’s a journal, filing system, forum, and educational tool. Simultaneously.”
