KevinMD.com is a very well-done blog, run by Dr. Kevin Pho, a New Hampshire primary care physician. I don't know how he runs such an active blog and sees patients. I've admired Kevin's work even before he named my blog one of his MedBlog Power 8 for my recent postings.
He writes: "The MedBlog Power 8 is a list of medical blogs that have had an exceptional week of blogging, based purely on my subjective measures. Factors I consider are how provocative the posts are, the amount of discussion it generates, and posting frequency."
Thanks, Kevin. I can't match the volume of your postings, but I try to make a daily quality or quirky contribution to our public discussion of health care and health policy and health journalism issues.
My policy on comments
I'm adopting the policy of a blog I admire: “Comments are great;
obnoxious comments get deleted. Deal.” I also won’t post any comment
from anyone who I consider to be pitching a product, or from anyone
who doesn’t list what appears to be an actual e-mail address.
