WELCOME TO
THE DISTRACTIBLE ZONE
Welcome back. Dr. Rob blogged for many years, entertaining multitudes and educating a few. This is a serious but not serious view into the life of a free-thinking primary care doctor who has a silly thing about llamas. Don’t ask about that; just accept it.

Ask Your Doctor if this Blog is Right for You
You’ve seen the commercials: the ones with the attractive, happy and healthy looking people whose lives have been changed by the latest and greatest new drug. The commercial always ends with the laundry list of warnings about what the wonder drug can do to you, like:
– Don’t take this drug if you are allergic to this drug (duh!).
Please tell your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms
– Severe abdominal pain
– Blood pressure elevation
– Excessive bleeding
– Erections lasting more than 5 hours
– Pregnancy resulting from prolonged erections
– Stool or urine glowing in the dark
– Head explosions
– Unusual obsessive thoughts about llamas
– Corrosive flatulence
Death.
I promise! I won’t.

One of the best decisions of my life.

An Uncloudy Day
Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
Oh, they tell me of a home far away
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
