RedScrubs Weekly Wrap-up 7-11-08
Things have been absolutely hectic this week for us here, and I would imagine for many of you, as well, after last week’s Holiday. One of the most mind-numbing tasks has been choosing a winner for this week’s Scrubby Awards. Why, you ask? Two reasons…
First, the quality of medical blogging seems to be improving week after week in my opinion; more physicians, healthcare professionals, and students are wearing their keyboards out even faster than normal by jumping headfirst into the blogosphere.
Secondly, because of last week’s Holiday, I personally had over 1100 blog posts to go through for the last two weeks to choose the winners! That’s a LOT of reading. Oh, and I know I say this often, but if your not using MedReader, you are really missing out on a massive daily supply of some of the best information out there - seriously. It is just so much easier to get my medical news and blogs all in one place, rather than checking dozens of sources for daily updates.
Anyway, those mentioned in this weeks wrap-up should feel extra special to be chosen out of all of those posts and submissions. Also, if you didn’t know, the Scrubby Award winner receives a free pair of scrubs courtesy of NW Scrubs. Good work everybody!
