A few months ago I started the blog Hospitalist With A View. So far, it's just a skeleton. I intended this to be a site where hospitalists could post their experiences. But then it hit me. More importantly than my opinion on everything hospitalist are the opinions of those who work with hospitalists just like me. That's what makes the Internet great. So I've decided to go forward with the blog.
It wont be restricted to hospitalist physicians. I would like it to be open to all things hospitalist. That includes
- Current hospitalist physicians
- Previous hospitalists turned subspecialist
- Retired hospitalists
- Nurses, RTs, secretaries, transcriptionists, anyone who works in a hospital and comes in contact with hospitalists face to face or otherwise
- Academic hospitalists
- Residents and medical students who work with hospitalists.
- Researchers working on anything hospitalist
- Administrators
- Janitors.
- And of course patients who have been taken care of by hospitalist.

Make it short. Make it long. Make it funny. Make it sad. If you have a rant. Or just an observation. Something nice to say or harsh words of condemnation. If you want to talk money, politics, policy. That's just fine. Just remember, the focus is on hospitalist with a view. Try to keep that focus. Remember, the rules of HIPPA apply and lawyers love to find work for themselves. However, If I think anything treads water, I will remove it.
I don't have a lot of time to be a moderator or to add a bunch of content. Hopefully there are a few folks out there who wish to share with the world their experiences of everything hospitalist.
Blogger limits me to the first 100 people. I'm not saying I could find a 100 people to blog here. But, if by chance there are, let me know now so I can get you signed up.
With all that said if you have anything to say, whether you think it's worth anything or not, email me at happyhospitalistATgmailDOTcom and I will give you administrator privileges. You can blog under your own name or make one up. You don't need to have your own blog to sign up. Your experiences with hospitalists will certainly make others take notice. Good or bad, I want to hear what you have to say. Perhaps the rest of the world does to. We are the fastest growing specialty. We have a lot of opinions to offer.

Once up on a time, i was in the hospital and the Hospitalist was not very nice to me. i'm sure that is rare and it was probably because of the reason i was in the hospital that he was so disgusted by me. That is all.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to point out that you've taken up time travelling. Your post date reads February 28 2009. I know you're good but I didn't know you were *that* good!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could do that *blush* Thankyou for letting me know! I may just find that handy myself..
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
The Hospitalist I did encounter were a couple of years ago. They were great.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some continuing stories. grr.
Best of luck with the new gig!
Sounds like fun. I like to be the renaissance physcian--everything to everybody. I am a internist who tosses my patients over to a hospitalist at my local hospital, and I am director of the hospitalists at the very same hospital, so often see that everyone has a point and no one is right.
ReplyDeleteNice blog, I'm going to enjoy reading all of it. I have many rants against not doctors necessarily but certainly the medical system here in Canada. Way too many to leave in one comment...ciao
