\"\"<\/a>Here are the 6 Reasons Why Doctors Blog<\/a>, according to Dr. John M., a cardiologist and electrophysiologist:<\/p>

Here are the top six reasons why I and other doctors choose to author medical blogs:<\/p>

1. The Practice of Medicine inspires
2. To educate
3. To better mankind
4. To give a look behind the curtain
5. To archive useful information
6. To display our humanness<\/p>

My comment is here:<\/b><\/p>

Thank you for the wonderful post and sharing insights, John. <\/p>

Blogging \"To better mankind\" is beyond reach for me, I think. However, I hope that my blogs helped \"To educate\" at least some of the readers who flipped through more than 8 million pages since 2005...<\/p>

Doctors are highly-qualified experts who limit their impact only to patients they see - if they don't publish, give lectures - and blog. In most cases, benefits far outweigh the risk and doctors should be encouraged to at least give it a try.<\/p>

I tried to describe a practical and time-efficient approach here: <\/p>

Social media in medicine: How to be a Twitter superstar and help your patients and your practice

Blogging also keeps you grounded and humble. Critical comments prompt you to back your clinical opinion, expressed in a blog post, with solid scientific references and that's a good thing.<\/p>

Comments from Google Plus<\/a>:<\/b><\/p>

Gary Levin, Jan 22, 2012: Ves, I agree with all of the above and welcome to G+ Let's hangout sometime soon. I will send you an invite..?<\/p>

Sherri Vance, Jan 22, 2012: Dr. Ves, I love your blogs. As for reasons why MDs should blog, I think the view behind the curtain (#4) is the most important. Given that our nation is weighing a myriad of conflicting viewpoints on how to fix our healthcare system, understanding these issues from the doctor's viewpoint is vital. Thanks! ?<\/p>

Carlo V Caballero-Uribe, Jan 26, 2012: Excelllent. I am sharing this post with my residents and students. They will discuss about it in a seminar. Many of #hscm its centered on engagement with patients and public its ok but engagement with your students and peers in several ways that social media offers its very important<\/p>

As some example some of our use include:
Twitter for journal clubs
Google plus circles to clinical cases discussions
Google docs to edit papers
Slideshare for seminars presentations
Below in the link its a post about it in my blog. Sorry its in spanish but the translator helps.
Thanks for your posts and example. <\/p>
