The evolution of a doctor's blog

Dr. Smith presents his research poster, which ranks the huge growth of his namesake blog, blogs of Dr. Smith's ECG. The blog is pretty much free to maintain, hosted by Google's Blogger.com service and will break the 1,000,000 page views this year. The site itself is a breathing, living and dynamic textbook: http://hqmeded-ecg.blogspot.com

Dr. Stephen w. Smith is a faculty physician in emergency medicine residency at Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) in Minneapolis, MN and an associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Minnesota.

6 Reasons doctors Blog

Here are 6 reasons why doctors Blog, according to Dr. John m., a cardiologist and hands:

Here are the top six reasons why I and other doctors choose to author blogs:

1. The practice of medicine guides
2. to educate
3. mankind better
4. in order to give you a look behind the curtain
5. to store useful information
6. to view our humanity

My comment is here:

Thanks for the wonderful post and sharing insights, John.

Blogging "better mankind" is beyond reach for me, I think. However, I hope that my blog has helped "educate" at least some of the readers who perused more than 8 million pages from 2005 ...

Doctors are highly skilled experts which limit their impact only to patients they see – if they don't publish, give lessons-and blogs. In most cases, the benefits far outweigh the risks and doctors should be encouraged to make at least one attempt.

I tried to describe a practical approach and efficient in terms of time:

Social media in medicine: how to be a superstar by Twitter and help patients and your practice
http://casesblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/social-media-in-medicine-How-to-be.html

Blogging also keeps grounded and humble. Critical comments require to run your clinical opinion, expressed in a post on the blog, with solid scientific references, and that is a good thing.

Gary Levin, January 22, 2012: Ves, I agree with all the above and welcome to g Let's meet sometime soon. Will send you an invitation ...

Sherri Vance, January 22, 2012: Dr. Ves, I love your blog. As regards the reasons why MDs should blog, I think the view behind the curtain (# 4) is the most important. Since our nation weighs a myriad of conflicting viewpoints as solving our health care system, an understanding of these issues from the point of view of the physician is vital. Thank you!

Carlos Caballero-Uribe, January 26, 2012: Excelllent. I'm sharing this post with my residents and students. We will discuss about it in a seminar. Many of # hscm centered on the commitment to patients and its ok but public engagement with your students and peers in a variety of ways that social media offers its very important

As a few examples of some of our use include:
Twitter for Club journal
Google more circles in discussions of clinical cases
Google Docs for editing documents
Slideshare for presentations of seminars
Below in the link on a post about it in my blog. Sorry its in Spanish but the translator helps.
Thanks for your post and example.

Advantages of Functional Medicine for Chiropractors, Naturopaths, Acupuncturists and Medical Doctors

For health care practitioners hoping to carve out a reputation for achieving remarkable results with patients, a relatively new diagnostic paradigm called Functional Medicine provides a promising route. Because training in this approach builds on a practitioner's previous medical education, just six to eight months is enough for new Functional Medicine graduates to begin building a reputation for helping patients who had nearly given up hope.

By looking at the whole patient and at data from advanced laboratory tests, Functional Medicine practitioners can frequently diagnose and treat difficult cases that have stumped other health care professionals. Their success rate with hard cases in turn leads to strong patient loyalty and increased referrals from patients and other practitioners. It's also relatively easy for graduates to receive local media coverage because this modality is relatively new to the general public.

Practitioners act like medical detectives, many times finding that conditions in one bodily system produce puzzling symptoms in what appears to be a very different system. In addition, their laboratory tests and medical histories often show that what brought about a certain set of symptoms in one patient was totally different from what brought on very similar symptoms in a second patient. Only after tracing a health problem back to its cause do Functional Medicine practitioners prescribe treatment.

Treatments in this system aim at reversing symptoms through diet, exercise, stress reduction, detoxification, lifestyle changes and other custom-designed interventions. In contrast to many holistic practitioners who base their treatments on traditions passed down through the generations, these practitioners derive their medical recommendations from intensive study of scientific journals - especially research that questions established protocols for drugs or surgery.

Training typically involves rigorous modules on the GI system, the effects of stress, the immune system, the endocrine system, inflammation, detoxification and more. Continuing education credits are available for chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists, among others.

Functional Medicine is particularly helpful for chronically ill patients who have been to a succession of specialists, who each conclude "No problem" and have no answer for the question, "Then why do I feel so terrible?" No wonder patients are uncommonly grateful to have found someone who adheres to this philosophy, and no surprise that patients are often willing to travel long distances and wait several months to see a Functional Medicine practitioner.

For someone drawn to health care out of a desire to help people and alleviate suffering, Functional Medicine offers rich rewards.
