Hey guys, I was wondering what interesting and/or entertaining medical / med school blogs might be out there. I'm making the switch from Law, and there are a handful of blogs out there that I would read, namely Above the Law (self-described as a "legal tabloid"). Any equivalent Med blogs out there? Thanks 🙂

A good place to start, and then leave as soon as you're oriented, is kevinmd.com. He's a media *****, but he covers everything lightly. You can find links to doctor blogs from there that match your political personality.

I eat from RSS feeds for the NYT health section and the WSJ health blog, if it matters it's here somewhere:
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/health/index.html?partner=rss
http://blogs.wsj.com/health
