It...Just wanted to thank you for writing this blog. It's very informative. I am a medical blogger myself. One of the ways how I try to keep myself out of trouble is by letting readers know that whatever I typed in my posts is not a medical advice, and that they should seek advice from their PCP. I'm just posting my research and new information that I have recently learned.<BR/>http://azazelo-knees.blogspot.com/Azazelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09700202867180359429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-1124417781640939662005-08-18T22:16:00.000-04:002005-08-18T22:16:00.000-04:00I don't discuss personal details of patients, I tr...I don't discuss personal details of patients, I try and make it more of a "what happened to me at work today" post. It's personal to me, not the patient. I just don't see medical blogs that are releasing anything that resembles personal information about a patient's specific care or diagnosis. <BR/><BR/>There are a lot of bloggers who could do a better job of hiding their own identity, though!

They might not understand the bit about the box of blinking lights called "Orac." Also, a minority of them might not appreciate my sometimes strident advocacy of evidence-based medicine over some forms of "alternative medicine" like Hulda Clark.<BR/><BR/>A fair number of people already know my "true" identity, anyway, including my Department Chair and Division Chief; so I already know that at least two of my colleagues might be reading, if not more. There are also a lot of people out in the blogosphere who know who I am. That's part of the reason that I don't blog as much as I used to about cases (and when I'm do I'm acutely aware of avoiding HIPAA violations), and I never, ever bitch about my job on my blog. Instead, I tend to blog about science and skepticism more these days. ;-)Orachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370846202152605202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-1123089652168949212005-08-03T13:20:00.000-04:002005-08-03T13:20:00.000-04:00Excellent thoughts!Excellent thoughts!Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007303301883671920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-1123064198129920812005-08-03T06:16:00.000-04:002005-08-03T06:16:00.000-04:00I'm very sorry for the misspelling, Mark.
