I am proud to say that some fine reader nominated The Happy Hospitalist for the Best Health Policies/Ethics Weblog category for 2010. Happy's honored. It's his second go around in this category and his third nomination overall. Someone forgot to nominate him last year. He knows that must have been an oversight. The Happy Hospitalist was a finalist for the Best New Medical Weblog of 2007. Happy didn't win, but he thinks the voting was rigged. In 2008, The Happy Hospitalist was nominated for the Best Health Policies/Ethics Weblog award as well. Somehow he didn't make it past the nomination stage. He thinks someone got paid good money to make that happen. There are no other alternative explanations. Truth is hard to avoid. I'm sure this year The Happy Hospitalist will go all the way and take home the big prize. If you think Happy, Mrs Happy, Marty and Cooper are worthy of consideration for any other category, make sure you go to their nomination page. Here is their explanation on how to nominate.
