You may remember that a few weeks back, I told you that RedScrubs would be seeing some changes soon. I am excited to say that you will begin to see fresh daily content beginning today, including the top 3 medical blog posts, the top medical videos of the day, and a daily sampling of some of the top jobs out there.

The Scrubby Awards will also now feature a new “Top 3″ format, with our top winner and 2 runners’ up chosen from the week’s daily top blogs. The top winner will continue to receive a free pair of red scrubs from NWscrubs and our nifty “Scrubby Award” logo (seen above) to put on their site or blog post. If you have any comments about the changes, or have a post you would like to submit, please do so here. We love to hear from both our new and loyal readers!

According to a new study, a physician’s attitudes and personality traits may affect the tendency to diagnose mood swings or depression. Some physicians apparently are sensitive to certain topics such as depression or suicide and are reluctant to discuss these issues with patients regardless of need.

According to Dr. Duberstein, co-author of the study, depression is frequently not diagnosed and suicidal tendencies are not explored even went quite evident. Physicians should reflect on the possibility that their personal traits might taint their diagnosis – or lack thereof – in mental health situations.
