If you're the type of person who slows down to peek at accidents, you might want to take a moment to watch ZDoggMD rhythmically eviscerate Mehmet Oz. The entertainment value of ZDogg’s calculated language is surpassed only by the fact that Oz looks about as uncomfortable as a prostitute in church. Hell hath no fury like a physician forced to spend the first 5 ... Continue Reading about ZDoggMD Riffs on Dr Oz
Doctors and social media: Damned if you engage, damned if you don’t
Hinda Mandell felt creepy after being followed by her OB on Twitter. Her post on Cognoscenti, Brave New World: Your Doctor, Your Private Parts, Twitter And You, is provocative on a number of levels.
