Enoch’s medmusings
Dear Mr. Ophthalmic Technician, Sir: Check out Enoch’s blog and my notes from the Medicine and Weblogs session. There’s a lot happening in the blogging community geared towards medicine you might find interesting.
The rest of you ponder this: Somewhere in Enoch’s notes about the Community session, he mentions a blogger suggesting to a divinity professor that we need a wiki bible. (A wiki (wickee, rhymes with yickie) is a kind of Web site that can be edited by anyone and the changes can be posted immediately to the Web without the intervention of another editor. Just like it sounds, anyone can rewrite a Web page. Don’t panic: only certain Web pages are set up like this. It doesn’t happen on every site. It’s not a form of hacking. I don’t have any illustrative links on hand right now, but I’ve probably typed about it before.) So, basically, anyone can edit that religious text.
What about wikis for news?

Thank you for the link to the med and blogging.
I wouldn’t have thought it would be so much to blog about a patient as long as no personal information would be released.
Your notes raise some very interesting ideas about medical specific blogging (Perhaps on one of the MD and Medical Assistant only sites).
