Someone posted this article in the Allo forum:
"Antitrust Lawsuit Over Medical Residency System Is Dismissed"

It was in NYT:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/14/p...=daf6414c36fa8397&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland

Since it's been such a hot topic, I'm surprised to see very few blogs discussing it. (So far I've only found one, and it's a legal blog.)

This made me wonder - does anyone on this forum have a blog, medically-related or otherwise?

Cute, but mine actually makes mention of the suit in question 😉 But I guess you can be let off the hook since your studying to be a DDS, not an MD. Sheesh, why are the dents in the medical areas???

Adcadet,

There is a NYT link generator just for bloggers. It allows you to link to articles (such as the Antitrust Lawsuit article) in a way that allows others to access them without having to sign in. It also works around the NYT archive issue, where articles are inaccessible after seven days without paying.

Its NYT-permitted for bloggers, otherwise they couldn't blog NYT articles. I haven't found actual terms of use for the generator, though. (Hopefully NYT will open its archives someday. I wonder if the fees for accessing old articles makes them much money, anyway.)

Be warned that it doesn't work for all articles, and that there is sometimes a delay between when an article is on the NYT Web site and when the link generator will function for that article. A day later and the generator may generate a link.

The link in my initial post in this thread uses this very technique. It will (should) work months from now. The one on your UMN Web site probably won't work by Monday already. Not a criticism, just a tip.

I just came across a "Medical News and Weblog Aggregator" that contains a variety of medicine-related blogs:
http://www.medlogs.com/indexfeed.php

In addition to categories for physicians, med news, law, and more, there is a resident/student category:
http://www.medlogs.com/indexfeed.php?category=Residents/Students

It was just what I was looking for, and I thought others might also be interested.
