I've been away from this Logbook long enough to think, my medical blogging enthusiasm suddenly died a tragic death.

When I was starting this blog, I had difficulty looking for Filipino Health care blogs to emulate and do a case study. I already knew there was a dearth of Health Care blogs in the Philippines, save for a few (e.g Parallel Universes ; Doktorko Blog s) who bravely "opened lips" and focused on medical and health concerns affecting Filipinos .

About The Orthopedic Logbook I started blogging in the late half of 2006, mostly personal journals of my plunge into the practice of medicine. But I slowly found out the dearth of socio-economic as well as cultural problems affecting so many health care issues and particularly in orthopedics, taunted to be another "expensive" specialty.

Here's an interesting finding on the influence of royalties, stocks or fundings for researchers with conflict of interests on their tendency to report more of their "positive findings ". I think, that is why there is such a thing as conflict of interest. -->Click here to read the full article....

No. Poverty is not an excuse for Filipinos succumbing to so called ''miracle drugs" - herbal medicines licensed as "food supplements" by BFAD, yet lay preposterous claims of healing so many things, from the unusual skin allergies to even cancer! Such excuse can even cause your death. Read here . I wonder which government agency is supposed to ...

I even made some comments on the remark, highlighting a racial slur that went offhand the scriptwriters control to Teri Hatcher's rattling mo...

An inquisitive resident jokingly asked me how was preop conference during our time (which was not so long ago). I replied "I often get Monday jitters that starts on the Sunday prior to the preop." He asked why. I said "We prepare our preop cases on Sundays- examine and reexamine patients, review diagnostics, bully radio techs to get elective r...
