Weekend Medicine

January 20, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

It’s remarkable that hospitals still keep weekend schedules. On Saturday and Sunday, things stop.  They don’t stop, but they really do.  ORs operate with emergency staffing. Routine diagnostic imaging is held until Monday morning. Saturday and Sunday schedules are a throwback to a time when the tempo of health care was set by the doctor’s rounds and the hands of a ...

Social Health’s Sewer of Self-Interest

August 22, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

There’s an affirmation bias in public dialog. We only like things. Facebook, for example, only offers Like button.  To dislike is not PC. It contributes to the social health sewer of self-interest.

How Twitter has Changed

May 3, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

On a recent Stanford MedX Google Hangout I was asked how Twitter had changed since I began using it in 2008.

Laughing at ZDoggMD

February 12, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I spend a lot of time addressing physician audiences.  It's a pretty regular thing that I use Zubin Damania (ZDoggMD) to showcase the individual physician voice.  He provides a great example of creative expression that leverages todays tools to change ideas about health.  He's a core player in what I like to refer to as medicine's emerging digital ...

Should Doctors Live by a Different Standard?

November 20, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I had a Twitter exchange yesterday centered on the question of whether we should behave differently, or hold things back, as doctors using social media. It’s an interesting question when you consider that our personal and professional lives are increasingly difficult to keep separate.  For the most part, my personal and professional presence are one in the ...
