When did you meet Mickey?

Where did you meet him?
only through his website
Memory of Mickey
I knew Mickey only through his writings on 1boringoldman. I don’t even recall how I stumbled onto the site, but it has been a regular go-to for me over the past two years, and Mickey’s writings have been profoundly influential about how I think about my profession and how I fit into the world as a psychiatrist.
I rarely contributed to comments, in fact only once. I don’t consider myself a dumb guy, but always had the same sort of anxiety about contributing to the conversation that a kid has approaching the grown up table. I occasionally thought about putting in a comment just to express how grateful I was for his work and sharing his insights so freely. I never did, so I must resign myself to writing here.
It saddens me that his leg of the race is done, but clearly he was a major player in pushing back against some real rot in our profession, and I will remain grateful for that.
