As a fellow traveler in Emergency Medicine I see no dichotomy with ER patients, Racoons and Jesus. In fact that collection makes more sense than much of what is sent on emails from my administrators.
I enjoy your Substack as it is very much:) I think it works well - seeing the medical profession through a Christian lens. I'd leave it just the way it is - and less work for you too!
Ed, the tail of a racoon has rings. One is light, the next is dark, and so on. Regardless, it's still a racoon. I would suggest that you vary the topics you choose to write about in the same Substack.
I relly don't have any problem with the breadth of what you talk about in relation to ER medicine. Keep it simple. Write what is on your mind and let us readers decide to read or not read. Thanks for asking.
I’d stick with one. I think raccoons and religion add depth to your pieces on medicine. If you really want to, you can divide your Substack into tabs, and people can opt out of the tabs that don’t interest them. People (including me) only want so many Substack floating into their inboxes.
I enjoy reading what you write, as you have a folksy, yet inquisitive style to discussing whatever approaches your far reaching mind. Your writing about religion is of less interest to me as a practical matter, but discussion of faith is more generic and, likely, of interest to most, or at least many. Raccoons are cute creatures,but I don’t want any as pets…or anywhere near my garbage cans.
I think bifurcation is good both in blood vessels and essay topics, FWIW.
I think it depends on your goals for your Substack. If you have a goal of monetizing one of the Substacks, it MAY be worth considering. Otherwise, I think it is great to show a whole human side to medicine. We have different approaches, but I definitely talk about everything from emergency medicine to what I learned about marriage from Metallica to Animist Christianity to plants to gut microbiomes. I've even written poems about putting in chest tubes and finding anatomic landmarks on my daughters :)
I think it's best to keep them all here and under one narrative. It can do a lot more work for everybody together (just have a good narrative so they don't feel out-of-touch with each other). God bless.
I appreciate your bringing your various aspects of your life to this Substack, Edwin. Actually, it's something I plan on modelling by the end of the summer.
However you decide to do it works for me, seems like it would be less work to keep it as one. If anyone doesn't care for what you are writing at the moment whether about raccoons or Christianity they can simply turn the page.

haha
(also, I can see the desire to split into two, but I also like the conglomeration and unexpected nature of the current state of it, to be honest)
I want to thank all of you for the wonderful comments and encouragement! Based on your suggestions, I think I'll just leave things as they are.
Have a wonderful day!

I love reading all you write. I will read in one place or two places.

Noooooo! I like it all mixed up just like the ER.

I like and enjoy all your posts so my preference is one substack.

We'll talk.

No need to split! I enjoy all the topics equally.
