Why (if I may ask)?
Dr. Grohol – Thanks for mentioning AHCJ’s new blog!
I am flying back to Seattle from the American Sociaty of Hematology meeting in San Francisco. There were 50 or so health journalists there. I was excited to be doing something a bit unique. I produced 11 live audio webcasts with leading medical experts. There was no outside sponsor nor “agenda.” It was exciting to propel this sort of in-depth insight to patients rapidly online. See what you think off the home page of http://www.patientpower.info and let me know if I should do more and if you can think of other outlets. All our content is featured in Microsoft’s http://www.healthvault.com.
Thanks, Andrew! Your site is a great example of how someone can leverage the internet & radio to dive deep into a topic and also spread information.
To answer Dave’s question, I’ll follow AHCJ’s blog b/c it addresses the conflict of interest questions we have been talking about here and now here.
Interesting and communicative, but would participate in something more on this topic?
