This website is devoted to learning and thinking by John Reginald Dykers Jr., M.D., who practices medicine in Chatham County, North Carolina, grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, (where he played football and tennis at the Bolles School), graduated from Davidson College and then from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine.

After decades of practicing medicine, he's learned a few things. This site's main feature (below) is his blog. There, John tells you exactly what he thinks-- no punches pulled. Yet he's willing to change his mind if you have the better argument.

As he says, among his many aphorisms, "Learning something new usually requires recognizing that what you used to know ain't so!"

Life is so short and time is so precious. No matter what you do, you are doomed to wish some of it had been spent differently. But don't worry about wasting time. It is so precious that no matter what you do, you will have "wasted" time!
