Facebook Clinic

May 15, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

So it happened again. Yesterday a patient mom friended me on Facebook and asked me for advice The answer was an easy no. So what’s the big deal? Why not just offer some friendly advice? Truthfully, the nature of the question was one that could easily have been answered. Here’s the thing. Patient interaction in the public domain is a no no for doctors. But what about ...

Is Paternalism Ever Okay for Doctors?

May 14, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

So I’m reading comments on my Doctor Delicious post and I see a comment from a reader named Yoyo. Interesting really. Yoyo doesn’t understand why anyone would want a Delicious page for patient information and resources. She just wants to be cared for without knowing every detail.

While I’m juiced about the potential for social media to influence the delivery of health information, I was disappointed with the noise created surrounding the ...

How Well Do You Know Your Social Media Peers?

May 4, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

How well do you really know your social media peers? This post by Chris Brogan got me thinking about it. It’s an interesting question and I’m going to suggest that we probably know our social media friends better than we think. When you read what someone writes, see how they comment, study what they link, and see their pictures I think it’s safe to say you know a ...
