Interesting/Hilarious Blogs by Docs or Med Students?

[In Vino Veritas]

Can anyone recommend some good blogs on medicine or life as a doc or whatever, if there even are any? I live in Washington, DC, Land of the Free, Home of the Blog, so I naturally assume that there are medical blogs that are both as incredibly informative and as incredibly entertaining as their political counterparts out there somewhere 🙂

There's a sdn poster who has a very thoughtfully written blog about her experiences as a resident, intern and medical student: http://drnjbmd.wordpress.com/

Very interesting blog from what I've read so far.👍

The blog entry "More Random Advice" is so hilarious. Favorite one is

6. Childbirth is only a beautiful experience if you enjoy watching fat ladies passing stool. Sorry.

http://www.grahamazon.com/ "Over My Med Body!" One of my favorites.

http://trismus1.wordpress.com/ Ten out of Ten-an ER blog that I like a lot.

http://www.medschoolhell.com/ For an entirely different perspective...

(I've got more, but those are good starting points...and pandabear has a good blog as well)

I second that blog. You won't find any advice per se regarding med school, but you will find an immensely enjoyable and humorous collection of rants. I can't wait to see what he has to say about residency at http://ahyesresidency.blogspot.com/

I love the Panda posts precisely because they are so long and go into so much detail. Other blogs post a 300-word rant about what happened that day. Example: A nurse yelled at me but at least I go to eat chocolate cake with my senior resident at lunch.

What's worse are the blogs that exist to point to other blogs. Panda has only original posts and takes a lot of time to carefully construct his essays. Yes, some of the themes do appear repeatedly, but those are his passions. Show me one blog that's been in existence for more than a year that continually has a new topic each week.

He's already explained that. It's what makes it funny and worth sending to people outside of medicine.

Some good ones I found through Panda Bear are:

http://erstories.net/
http://whitecoatrants.wordpress.com/

They are both hilarious, especially the first one since it details the most bizarre ER stories I have ever heard of.
