We want to try to create a new community based model for medical education, training a physician who knows how to communicate with patients, use technology to the improve quality of care and how to work as a team member. The comments that you and others have made on your site have triggered ideas and thoughts in my mind on the culture we want to create and the curriculum we need to develop to reach our goal. I too have started a blog because so few medical schools get created, and we are freestanding not university based, I thought others might be interested in the process and offer needed advice.

I read religiously here, along with a few other places, kept mental notes, noticed what posts seemed to get responses, and got variously elated, irritated, amused, thrilled, furious, LOL'd, and cried, near every emotion you'd want readers to have.<BR/><BR/>A great model for a glass-wall blog, where you take your readers around your work and sometimes your life. When a British IT newsletter asked me for a short piece on my fave sites, yours made the cut. Or set the bar for the inclusion of others. Many thanks for bravely stepping out - and for linking to me. What's next? You can't stop here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-59914086361472074682007-08-02T13:30:00.000-04:002007-08-02T13:30:00.000-04:00Thanks to all.

So I assume others don't care, either. See? I am identifying myself with the idea that sometimes I like to be anonymous. Will this reflect on me somehow?

I check out this blog almost daily because of high quality posts on health care management and some entertaining posts. Please take blogging to the next level. <BR/>I admire your guts in writing this blog because it is riskier for people like you in high profile job to share their inner thoughts to the whole world. I dont think many people can do this.

I enjoy your blog every day and find you to be an engaging writer, humorist, and catalyst for some serious debate on real life issues, both in health care and life in general.<BR/>Your blog also gives some interesting insights into your personality (kind of like the main character in a good book) and I enjoy that too. I think you are making a difference, and that's the best one can hope for in this world.<BR/><BR/>I do want to address your comments about posting anonymously. I read and comment anonymously on several blogs, and do so deliberately for several reasons - to keep from being identified with a certain philosophy ("oh, there goes so-and-so on her favorite pet peeve again, I won't even read that"); to preserve confidentiality should I want to cite a relevant incident from my own work experience (I recommended this blog to my former CEO); and last, I am sad to say, because there are some real nuts out there and one never knows whom we might be inadvertantly inciting to what actions. I say this primarily about other, more combative blogs than this one, but it's a real issue.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think your employees, of which I am not one, should feel perfectly free to put comments here without the feeling of either sucking up or fearing the consequences - this would be an understandable feeling in ANY workplace and shouldn't be criticized.<BR/><BR/>So we "anons" can be just as loyal readers, even though dealing with our comments can be clunky at times. Again, congrats and keep up the good work!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
