Introducing Medpolitics.com
A new web service is now available called "MedPolitics.com"
http://medpolitics.com , a blogging site open to US physicians to
opine on healthcare, public health, politics of medicine, and the
state of our profession.
The time seems perfect considering that healthcare is such a hot
debate topic, and many doctors feel that we should have a stronger
voice in the debate.
We figured we know a thing or two about blogging and healthcare. So
why not build a service where doctors write their political thoughts
and others read them and comment?
We hope that one day politicians, policy makers, news makers, and
others will be checking it out to see what the doctors actually think
on the important medical policy issues.
So we registered the domain, installed a user-friendly publishing
software, and gave it some testing. The site is now ready to go, all
without any significant investments (except for our time) or outside
funding.
In other words, 100% independent political network for doctors.
Some features of the website: WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)
blog editor, drag and drop picture uploading, social networking (make
friends, establish contacts), bookmarking, event announcements, polls
creation, and much more.
The publishing on Medpolitics is as easy as writing an email: no
knowledge of HTML is necessary.
Again, the site is open for blogging to US physicians only, and
everyone else can follow the debate and comment. We have a person on
staff to treat everyone who signs up the old fashioned way, "like a
doctor."
That means continuous support, a phone number to call for help or to
explain how to do something, and the utmost attention to all your
requests. What blogging platform will do that for you?
We are not looking for thousands of members, but just for some of you
that care for the future of our profession and have the desire to
have your opinions heard. So let's see if the experiment will work,
and whether we can get some of the quiet voices out.
Sign up now, and if you have that Blogger account that gets drowned
in a sea of chatter, move it and join other physicians.
A few voices together are definitely louder than individuals
scattered all over.
See you in the debate halls of http://medpolitics.com/ !
