"Wikipedia is a perfect place to start your research, but should never be the one you finish your search with" - PubMed is a better start. Wikipedia is not a primary source for med students/residents. It can be used for illustrative purposes for med blogs if you can verify info. Medical blogs are not a source of "actionable" medical information, same with Wikipedia. You want to be treated by an expert - not a "crowd."

TED Talks: Calibrate outlook on time to achieve a happier life

2009-07-19T06:15:00.000-05:00

Psychologist Philip Zimbardo says happiness and success are rooted in a trait most of us disregard: the way we orient toward the past, present and future. He suggests we calibrate our outlook on time as a first step to improving our lives.

Philip Zimbardo was the leader of the notorious 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment.

Secrets of longevity from a Greek island or How to outlive your doctor

2009-07-16T06:32:00.000-05:00

Icaria, Island Chain: North Aegean. Image source: Wikipedia, public domain.

From CNN:

"Since at least the sixth century B.C., Icaria was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as a health destination -- largely for its hot springs believed to relieve pain, joint problems and skin ailments.

For much of the ensuing two millenniums, people here lived in relative isolation. The people here evolved a unique diet that we believe is a more heart-protective version of the Mediterranean diet. We're doing pharmacological analyses of dozens of herbal teas and unique honey produced by bees that draw pollen of thyme, fir and erica. We think we'll find anti-cancer, anti-oxidant and probiotic properties in these locally produced products.

We also know that people here have a vastly different character than the rest of the Mediterranean. They have volcanic tempers that quickly subside. Despite living on harsh, steep terrain, they're known for relentless optimism and three-day parties. They don't get stressed by deadlines. They go to bed well after midnight, sleep late and take naps. Anecdotally, we know that most people over 90 are sexually active.

Do these people possess the true secret to longevity? We're not sure yet, but we'll certainly distill a few clues about living longer, better."

Doctor Rob launches The House Call Doctor podcast on iTunes

2009-07-15T06:40:00.002-05:00

Doctor Rob is one of the 70 people I follow on Twitter and I am happy to post this press release about his latest project (edited by me):

The House Call Doctor, hosted by Dr. Rob Lamberts, joins the highly successful "Quick and Dirty Tips" iTunes podcasts on July 14, with free content also available for download at www.quickanddirtytips.com.

How can I lower my cholesterol? Is Tylenol really safe? Why do my bruises itch? No topic is off limits for the House Call Doctor—the newest addition to Macmillan’s Quick and Dirty Tips self-improvement franchise. Dr. Rob Lamberts practices full-time in his primary care private practice in the southeastern US. He is board certified in internal medicine and pediatrics, and has doctored for the past 15 years. Lamberts’ recent involvement in the advocacy of electronic medical records has received national recognition and his popular medical blog, Musings of a Distractible Mind, was named one of Tara Parker-Pope’s “favorite medical blogs” in her New York Times Well blog.

With his trademark sense of humor and straightforward advice, Dr. Lamberts answers a wide variety of questions in this QDT podcast, mixing his extensive experience in the medical field with accessible advice that is both accurate and easy to understand. Filled with friendly and in-depth answers on listeners’ most pressing health issues, House Call Doctor offers progressive and innovative ways to look at medicine and the healthcare industry as a whole.

The House Call Doctor’s first series of podcasts will cover a wide range of health concerns and medical inquiries, including:

- What do I really need to know about cholesterol?
- How do I talk to my doctor about medical information I’ve found on the Internet?
- Where do bruises come from, and how can I get rid of them?
- What are the dangers of using popular pain relievers, such as Tylenol?
- What should I look out for to prevent the over use of antibiotics?

Dr. Lamberts’ expert tips will give listeners the tools they need to understand their bodies better and improve their health and quality of life. His goal with the House Call Doctor is to “make medical things easier to understand and hopefully to offer a little entertainment in the process.” As Dr. Lamberts says, “People want to understand their health, but unfortunately many of the explanations out there are either confusing or boring.”

You can subscribe to House Call Doctor via iTunes or any other RSS reader and you can also subscribe to the transcripts on the website using the following links:

Doctors Express hopes to franchise urgent care in U.S., doing what Papa John's did for pizza

2009-07-14T06:04:00.002-05:00

From USA Today:

"Doctors Express hopes to franchise urgent care in U.S., doing for urgent health care what, say, Papa John's did for pizza — making sure the public can find it anywhere and always knows what it's going to get."

The chief medical officer Dr. Scott Burger (as in "Burger King"), who likes to be called Dr. Scott, is hoping to open 3,000 centers around the country, "so when people think of where they need to go for their health care needs, the first thing they think. .. is 'Where's the Doctors Express?'

"And unlike most other [medical] centers, many Doctors Express franchises can be owned by corporate managers who don't have a medical background. The company says it will guide them in everything from what credentials to look for when hiring staff to how to pick the best location."

Medical bloggers are now media and have a first-hand look, experience and credibility

2009-07-13T06:42:00.001-05:00

A few thought from my Twitter stream:

The editors of Emergency Medicine News decided to place the article "Do Physician Blogs Betray Patient Privacy?" just next to "Paramedics Accused of Molesting Patients" http://bit.ly/A29tT in the latest issue of the publication. Those 2 pieces are followed by "I Feel So Dirty and Used!" http://bit.ly/C4eK1. Quite depressing indeed.

Despite the first line from the Emergency Medicine News article that claims that "Everybody's blogging, it seems." http://bit.ly/gOivC , in fact, very few doctors blog compared to other professional fields.

Dr. Lagu recommends blogging guidelines by professional societies and training in medical school, not more formal policing, which is a reasonable stand.

It is also time for some medical journals and other publications to stop behaving like "medical blogger" is a dirty word.

A Nature editorial recently asked to "Stop blogging during scientific meetings" http://bit.ly/DdjPH - To quote from the editorial, "Most researchers, if they're aware of social-networking applications, are likely to regard them as distractions at best."

Blogging and microblogging via Twitter and Facebook are natural communication tools nowadays and part of the culture of the new generation. Conference organizers may need to talk to their kids more often.

Believe it or not, the medical bloggers are now media and have a first-hand look, experience and credibility.

For example, see who is representing the physicians in Washington, DC - at least half of them are proven and respected medical bloggers... http://bit.ly/QTzcM

A professional blog is also one of the best ways to establish your online identity in a search engined dominated online world.

Study: "45% of medical schools are adopting Web 2.0 tools for teaching"

2009-07-12T06:57:00.009-05:00

According to a 2009 study (submitted in 2008), 45% of medical schools are adopting Web 2.0 tools for teaching: http://bit.ly/7Rbf6. In the article titled "Specific Web 2.0 tools used in curriculum at nursing and medical schools", they didn't even ask about Twitter back in 2008. There are other shortcomings in the paper but it is worth noting that as of 2009, Twitter is the most widely adopted social media tool by the hospitals according to the statistics kept by Ed Bennett:

StudentBMJ offers tips how stay up to date online but the advice "Get rid of your text books and find the latest information from the internet" goes a bit too far: http://bit.ly/S6qnZ

"Do you need to declare competing interests?" asks BMJ before you can post a comment on their blogs/articles...

BMJ is an enormous publishing empire and some areas are very advanced while the other are lagging a bit behind. This is an example of old style "push-only" Twitter feed by BMJ that pushes headlines like a bot and it seems to never reply: http://bit.ly/QWoxx - No wonder I have double the number of followers on Twitter:

On the other hand, BMJ is the only one of the big 5 journals that has its own social network: doc2doc where international doctors recently commented that "US doctor salaries are out of this world!" http://bit.ly/2X4hJ5
