Weblog of the Week: Kevin, M.D., by Dr. Kevin Pho
Why I Like It: You thought lawyers didn't like doctors? Au contraire! Sure their lawyers-are-coming-after-us paranoia gets a little tiresome after awhile, but that's just a symptom of our country's political climate, in which the only way to make sure you're heard above the din is to act slightly hysterical. So I'll forgive Dr. Pho if his posts about tort "reform" are fatally one-sided.
Besides, Dr. Pho has enabled comments on Kevin, M.D., where anyone is free to say they disagree. And some of his readers do disagree, as evidenced here. Yet Dr. Pho remains unflappable, even when it's the commenters who are acting slightly hysterical. It's one reason I like Dr. Pho.
It's medicine, not politics, that's the main topic at Kevin, M.D. As a lawyer who enjoys consulting with doctors on all his tort-law cases, it's the scientific part of Dr. Pho's weblog that I find most interesting.
Recommended Reading:
1. You've got to like a doctor who has the courage to take on the drug companies and their salesmen, as Dr. Pho does here.
2. You'll find an assortment of medical topics on Kevin, M.D.--air travel and blood clots, for example, or soda and cancer risk, or urinary tract infections and thong underwear.
3. You'll even find some of Dr. Pho's own medical anecdotes on his weblog, such as his patient with a messed-up ear, or the guy with hiccups that lasted five years.
