An excerpt: If global health communication was characterized by anything in 2010, it was the rise of Twitter and other social media among non-profit organizations as a way of bypassing increasingly irrelevant traditional media and taking their messages directly to their target groups. From the Global Health Council, we saw more and more of our members — large and small — embracing new media like blogging, micro-blogging and social networks like Facebook. At the year’s last meeting of our Global Health Communicators Working Group in November, I asked for a show of hands of those w...

I think there’s social health psychomanipulation. Many of us indulge the obvious social health memes. We universally bash pharma, blindly buoy the empowered, and champion just about anything at the intersection of digitally democracy and health care. Too many want to be accepted, retweeted, and linked by an evolving hierarchy of power brokers looking to advance one self-imposed new standard. And every now and again I fall into the trap and offer bread and circus. If you’re preoccupied with traffic metrics and the blind need to belong, go ahead and jump on the bandwagon.Â...

Why don’t we see more doctors out there? Of the hundreds of thousands of doctors, I’d expect more to be taking a voice. Even during the U.S. healthcare reform debate — crickets. Of course there are doctors who blog, but the numbers are slim. What’s behind it? Passion. Pushing great content requires a passionate interest in changing ideas and making a difference. There’s malaise in medicine right now. Margins are slim. Physicians are losing control of what’s happening around them. The fire in the belly that drove so many doctors to choose medicine has given way to a preoccupation with survival. Late adopters. Most doctors think a blog is something that deviant teens do on a cellphone.Â...

Tony always, disagrees with me in regards to universal healthcare. He has some experience with it as he lives in the UK where healthcare is government sponsored, meaning that taxpayers are covering it. I, coming from Canada, of course have my own experiences with government funded healthcare, and I like to boast that until coming to the US of A I had never even seen a doctor’s bill. Tony has a different viewpoint. He was let down by the healthcare system in his country and had to find his own means to discover and pay for treatment for a serious illness. His government refused to cover what he needed. Tony sacrificed financially, givi...

I’ve seen many cases when genetic tests are needed (a strange haemophilia-related case, hereditary spherocytosis, etc.). I thought I should be your aggregator for today, so I tried to collect the most interesting posts on genetic testing, and I also present a new genetic blog. Then after reading all of these, don’t miss the funny video about a parody of a public service announcement on genetic testing. Source Medicine 2.0 means that you can read valuable comments and opinions which are unlikely to be published in a scientific paper. Hsien-Hsien Lei greatly answers common questions about genetic testing. Steven Murphy, the Gene Sherpa always informs us about new techniques and procedures...

The most interesting answer was: Kevin: I browse about 50+ medical blogs daily, looking for interesting starting points of discussion. In no particular order, here are three that I enjoy: Fingers and Tubes in Every Orifice Panda Bear, M.D. Surgeonsblog I thought Kevin tracks at least 2-3 hundred feeds a day as he has 5-8 posts each day. I only have 1-2 posts but I track more than a hundred blogs and medical journals. Check out this video at Clinicalcases.org to see how Scobleizer reads 600 feeds a day.
