Medical Blogs - Does Anonymity Affect Credibility?

Tuesday December 18, 2007

... and what are your doctors saying about you?

Turn up the volume on your speakers and give a listen to this report about medical blogs and anonymity by Deirdre Kennedy through IHealthBeat.org*...

Then let me know what you think. Can you believe what a blog has to say about a medical challenge? Do you, the patient, appreciate that doctor's are giving away information about you, even if they don't use your name?
