B. James McCallum's page
B. James McCallum maintains his day job as an Academic Hospitalist and Assistant Professor of Clinical Internal Medicine, but really fancies himself a 19th century natural philosopher. He gets way too excited catching spiders and building pneumatic cannon from PVC pipe – a fact that severely limits the social circles in which he can travel.
James holds degrees in medicine from the University of South Carolina and biology from Davidson College. Despite the fact that he has won numerous teaching awards and is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, he really thinks he knows more about random, useless minutia than he does about medicine. His areas of focus include lipid therapy, ultrasound, medical student education, and single malt scotch.
He spends his free time reading and writing irrelevant literature, watching American football, building contraptions viewed by others useless and hanging out with his wonderful wife and two beautiful, feisty little girls.
Noli nothis permittere te terere.
