A Post about a Post about a Blogger

I don’t do many posts about bloggers or blogging. It’s like writing a novel about a novelist. But, hey, if it was good enough for Nabakov, it’s good enough for me.

ScienceRoll has a brief but illuminating interview with the dean of docbloggers, Kevin Pho of Kevin,MD. Here’s my favorite passage: 

People not involved with health care really have no idea what goes on “behind the curtain.” My goal is to pull the curtain back … 

Pulling the curtain back, in my not-so-humble opinion, is where blogs beat the bejabbers out of conventional journalism.

A lively comment stream on one of Kevin’s posts provides more insight on the day-to-day realities of health care than any piece of journalism can ever hope to impart.
