Tour of the Med Blogs: Finally had some time yesterday to catch up on my blog reading. Dr. Jacob is blogging live from the American Medical Informatics Association meeting.
Medrants has a post with some very thoughtful and valuable comments on the difficulties of narcotic prescribing.
RangelMD has devoted three lenghty posts to the Teri Schiavo case, in the last of which he argues that she's life unworthy of living. Dr. Bradley explains the error in that logic.
And Grunt Doc looks at a blame-game going on at a US hospital in a surgery-related death, with comments and follow-up links from Dr. Parker the scalpel man. posted by Sydney on
