About Me

Meet Steve Walden

I first became really interested in medical subjects when my wife was pregnant with our first baby. I had absolutely no clue what was going on, but I wanted to. I probably asked more questions during the check-ups than she did. If there was an appointment that I couldn't go to, I would have my wife give me a complete play-by-play.

But this blog will just have to do.
