SBselfborder.jpg Signout is hospital slang for the transfer of information between patient care teams. It is also the name of this blog, which represents one of the less dysfunctional ways in which Dr. Signout copes with her participation in a U.S. medical residency program.

Good one. Several years ago, I heard a neurologist giving a presentation comment that "The old saying about neurology is that we don't treat diseases, we merely admire them." Love that self-deprecating medical humor.

Wow, I hope that wasn't just a synopsis of the text. *installs plastic bubble*
