		<title>Life with Twins #5—The Toddler Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most parents of multiples agree that each year with twins become exponentially easier. I can personally attest to that fact now that my twins are two years old.

		<title>Life with Twins #4—Infant Twins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no question about it&#8212;caring for twins is hard work.

		<title>Life with Twins #3—The NICU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Faith and Hope were born at 33 weeks and both initially required care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Ironically Hope, the smaller twin that we worried about throughout the pregnancy, turned out to have no major problems. She stayed in the NICU mainly to learn to feed and to grow.

		<title>Life with Twins #2—Pregnancy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No two pregnancies are alike. This is especially true for pregnancy with twins.
During my pregnancy with Faith and Hope, I experienced a number of pregnancy complications. I had vaginal bleeding and pregnancy-associated diabetes. In my third trimester, I was forced to go on bed rest due to a shortening cervix (a risk factor for preterm [...]]]></description>

		<title>What’s got me excited now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the beauties of being a physician is that not only does your world encompasses the clinical aspects of health, but also involves many other disciplines as well. Often people assume that a doctor&#8217;s influence ends at the clinic or hospital door, however that is far from the truth. Promoting health is a very [...]]]></description>

		<title>What medicine will be like in 10-20 years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a question that I&#8217;m often asked when talking to future physicians or people in general. Medicine has gone through some impressive, dynamic changes in the last ten to twenty years, even more since I started down this road.

		<title>Things to ask yourself prior to starting a career in medicine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When people have asked me what it takes to be a physician, I usually tell them that there are three things that every doctor must have.

		<title>How I got here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every doctor has a story of how they ended up in medicine. Mine goes like this. My parents instilled two things that looking back now were probably the reason I was drawn to become a physician. From my father I inherited the love of problem solving.

		<title>What it&#8217;s like to be a pediatric hospitalist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First of all you might be wondering what a pediatric hospitalist does. Prior to about 10 years ago, when a child became ill enough to require hospital admission, their pediatrician would place them in a hospital and then manage their inpatient care accordingly.
