The doctor on Diva

I hate to admit I see where this guy this coming from.

I am not sure if everyone read Toby's post about sitting next to a doctor on the plane. He was explaining to her his disinterest and nonunderstanding about the purpose of blogs.
Not Everyone Loves Blogs or A Doc In A Blog

Although I have started to enjoy using my blog, and can see its advantages to the business world for consumer relationships, I havent found yet how someone in a 9-5 job (or a doctor!!) would make productive time to maintain a blog.

As I continued to read her article I realized that visiting the doctor has become like being a smart shopper. I went the the health center today well prepared to describe my symptoms, and offer some solutions as to what illness I might have. These consumer awarenesses are available because of all the medical websites. One specific that allows you to type in your symptoms and the site will send back a diagnosis. WebMD. Point being that if the medical field was able to find time to produce a thoughtful blog, it could quite possibly improve consumer opinions of the practice. However, I don't know how much people credit blogs. I would be spectical of a doctor's blog due to the assumption that there might not be sufficient time or the bias of the responses.
