First blog post ever

So, I figured I'd give this blogging thing a try. It's not that I think I am that interesting or anything. For anyone curious about the origin of the name, I am a medical student and always thought toxic megacolon was one of the coolest complications of a disease. I also thought it would be a great name for a hard core rock band, but since I am not that musically inclined, I figure the best way to stake my claim to it would be to create a blog. However, I am sure someone else has already used it because the address toxicmegacolon.blogspot.com was not available for me to use. Anyway, I am not sure how much I will use this, but here is a start.
