npr.org — Medical blogs have drawn back the curtain on the inner workings of the health care profession. Online readers can learn about the latest medical gadgets, read physicians' views on health care issues, even get a peek at the inner thoughts of surgeons. But despite their attraction, these blogs have raised concerns about privacy issues on the Web.

i think Doctors should set up a Digg-like site..(called Docc, say)the stories posted would be a patients condition and the treatment(s) chosen- and why (..without any names of the patients or doctors)then other doctors could vote up cases they thought were interesting and then comment (..give their 'second opinions') about any aspect of thatcase they felt importantim thinking itd be like a good tech story on Digg..with some very useful commentsplus theyd have the mutual support of *lots* of doctors opinions on any one caseif they did it seriously - it could gradually build into library of medical expertise ..so theyd need a better search than Digg

Placing injuries and disease in the same environment is one of stupid thing they do. A great way to cause cross infection. I generally respect the skills of medical staff but the business of medicine is a sham.

That's how I caught mine: "So Patient X came in again today. God. He still doesn't have cancer, he still needs to eat right and exercise, his penis is still of average size. I think the reason he can 't get laid is his apparent fear of soap and the fact that his balls stink so bad they could choke a buzzard off a gut wagon."

sorry no i dont know one ..it was just Digg inspired i was remembering all the incredibly useful stuff ive learned from just from reading good Digg comments (and how easy it is to find them because of course the best ones get Dugg up) ..so im getting the benefit of the expert opinion of hundreds of tech guys just by looking at a Digg thread and i was just thinking how you could maybe do something similar for sharing medical expertise yeah i guess i was thinking of a doctor only site..they have one in UK (~ 150,000 members) - but i dont know what they do there (im not a doctor)
