The Hampster Wheel – Eccentrecities of a Surgical Resident

From the blog:

 I currently reside in New Orleans, spending an alarming amount of my waking hours training in general and vascular surgery. The rest of my time is devoted to my wife Nathalie.

(And with God’s grace, we survived Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.)


Suture for a Living

Suture for a Living  (RL Bates)

Description from the blog:

I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I may “suture for a living”, but I “live to sew”. When I can, I sew. These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.

I am married to a wonderful man. We were not blessed with children, but have many nieces & nephews. We have two chocolate labradors, Girlfriend & Rusty, who are my “personal trainers”.

Cut on the Dotted Line

From the blog:

I graduated from medical school and started a general surgery residency in 2007.

I was homeschooled K-12, and raised in a Reformed environment. This blog is my way of recording the course of my residency, and reflecting on how Christ’s absolute claim as Lord of all creation can be lived out in medicine, specifically in the field of surgery.

Interests include classical music, enjoying God’s outdoors (rock-climbing does not count as enjoying), reading omnivorously, and practicing needlecrafts.

Dreams include visiting all of Europe and not missing any cathedrals, becoming fluent in at least three foreign languages, and having a family like Cheaper by the Dozen.

I am, in no particular order, a general surgeon, husband, father, Ronald Reagan fan, crossword puzzle fanatic, wine lover, and coffee guzzler.
