Good Doctor Blogs
I am going to list some blogs that I find to uphold standards of ethics put in place for medical professionals. It is a short list so far, because I have only recently begun to read this genre of blogs.
I am sure there are many many good ones out there, and I will put them in my post as I see them.
I am not going to list the ones that I have read that are enough to make me cry, or run away and hide.
In renewing my trust in physicians, it is a good thing I have happened upon all this lately. The good, the bad, and the ugly I have happened upon… But here I am dedicating this post to the GOOD Doctor Blogs that I have read.
When I get a chance and have come across GOOD nursing blogs, paramedic blogs, etc. I will make them a special section too. God bless these good doctors for having a head on their shoulders, humanity, and wittyness. These are listed in no particular order because I respect them all.
Shrink RAP
http://psychiatrist-blog.blogspot.com/
Wow, this is a great blog. It is written and maintained by psychiatrists. No throwing around of bad words, disgusting harshness, and paradigms that would make their patients cringe if they read it. WAY to GO…
Fatdoctor’s BLOG
http://fatdoctor.blogspot.com/
FatDoctor’s blog is very witty and enlightening. The author of this blog is an excellent doctor and an excellent human being. She is Christian. Her blog is very fun to read and also gives insight on what a physician deals with on a day to day basis. Check it out…
Dr Edwin Leap
http://www.edwinleap.com/joom/
Dr. Leap mixes family, fun, ethics, faith, and a big blessing all into one blog. I still have to read more of his blog, but from what I have read he is an excellent doctor and family man. I came upon his blog by mistake through another patient’s blog where he has posted some fair and wise commentary upon. I felt immediate respect for this man and had to put his blog here.
Another Website of mention belongs to a top notch nephrologist who does research as well.
Precious Bodily Fluids
http://pbfluids.blogspot.com/
This doctor’s research and teaching on renal disorders is excellent. His website and presentation are put together very well. I felt he deserved a mention here because I hold his work in high esteem.
Hi OCDChick. I responded to your comment on my blog, but thought I’d my thoughts by here, too. I didn’t mean to sound so sharp on shrink rap, but I still believe that multicultural education is useless. There are too many cultures and too little time, if you are just willing to ask and listen to your patients, you shouldn’t need it. I once said an Arabic blessing over a baby as I delivered it by c-section (because her parents asked me to). Well, maybe I’ll just copy and paste my comment. Here goes:
You didn’t offend me, I didn’t explain myself really well. I think if we all try to treat each other with respect, then things work out fine. Multicultural classes don’t change that. They tend to be a bunch of useless fluff about treating each other kindly or imagining how other people feel that if you didn’t learn it in kindergarten, you’re not going to learn it now. If people are jerks when they’re in their 20’s it’s too late, and there’s so much to learn and so little time, it would mean learning less medicine or spending more months in school, neither of which are good things.
