About a month ago I got an invitation by John Schumann, who authorizes the Glass Hospital blog to go to Iowa. Now, I don\’t consider going to Iowa a particularly bad thing, but it is an unusual place to be invited to. I am all in favor of corn and abundant use of the …
15% offscrub jackets with code \”jackets_save\” Moving to the south is an eye-opening experience. First, there\’s the friendliness of everyone; I remember the first time a stranger talked to me in the grocery store, it made me nervous. In Philadelphia, where I went to med school, anyone talking to you in the grocery store was …
A thought struck me when reading an excellent post on Warmsocks\’ blog. The vast majority of responses to my recent posts on doctor/patient relations have been positive. Yet a vocal minority of people have read what I wrote in a negative light – that I am somehow projecting my doctor arrogance into those posts and …
My world changed four years ago today. Today is the 4th anniversary of when I started distractible blogging. Beginnings I had actually written a couple of posts on another blog called \”Rob\’s Odd Blog,\” but it was panned by Oprah and Steve Jobs, so it never went far. I was also writing for Dmitriy at …

One of the big differences …

It was a legitimate challenge. When I mentioned to a fellow blogger that I was appearing on NPR, and he raised a very important question: \”Is that really a good thing? I thought that the point of blogging was to pose a challenge to the mainstream media, but it seems like bloggers feel like they …
I am sitting now in the medical blogger track at the Blogworld Expo. As is generally the case, I got here too late to bum around with the med bloggers last night. It happened when I went the the \”Putting Patients First\” summit in DC as well. I just seem to have that kind of …
