Well, the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the academic part of my anesthesiology residency is now over! I have been ruminating over the possibilities of what I was going to write that involved my greatest and most passionate hobby, and it finally came to me a few months ago. I have expounded on the medical uses of capsaicin in many previous posts, so here is a copy of the literature that I submitted, of which I am very proud:

Joe’s literature review on the anesthetic uses for capsaicin

Now I can get back to writing about stuff that’s a little easier for me to crank out. All you science geeks out there…enjoy!
