Select writings from Dr. Leap, in his own words:
This is a piece I wrote originally for EM News, back before they had anything in archives online. It was picked up by many sources over the years and in a couple of places is required reading for medical students. Things like this take on rather a life of their own. I’m OK with that. Although older, it may be one of my most important bits of writing ever.
This was a piece I wrote that the Huffington Post solicited and led to me blogging there for a season.

I wrote a lot of pieces either at KevinMD or which were used by him. He still sometimes picks up my work from MedPage Today.

My first real writing gig was with the Greenville News, and it was very formative because it was sometimes medical, sometimes family, sometimes humor or faith. It was wide open!
