MedChatter

There is an interesting web site called MedChatter. This is a site which aggregates info from blogs in the medical and pharmaceutical area.

And what is interesting is that this site keeps track of all those blogs, and constantly displays most recent posts. But not only that, you can also find a ranking of most popular posts overall or in the last week or last 24 hours, based on how many have clicked on those posts.

Of course, you may wonder which ones are the most popular posts since this service started earlier this summer . . . so here's the list of the most popular blogs, overall, according to MedChatter:

Here is an idea for a post that may become No.1 rated and the Doc is not interested in regular job with big pharma anyway.
ALEXANDER LITVINENKO - the poor X Russian spy, obviously a major whistlebolower who ended, poisoned by radiation. Not a nice thing to happen to whistleblower. Who did it does not matter. They would and did deny it anyway and no way to prove it.
The big question: IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS POSSIBLE TO HAPPEN TO BIG PHARMA WHISTLEBLOWER???
We know what nasty things they are capable of, always wrapped in lawyers letters and polite statements, but brutal nevertheless. When it comes to posibility of losing billions directly (fines)and indirectly (loss of reputation, sales) and extremelly well paid jobs, would anyone in the big pharma business "give the order"? Many people we spoke to about the nasty side of pharma business and whistleblowing on them, thought that was not a good idea. "Those people are ready to do anything to stop it. Too much on stake. be careful etc". These were just ordinary people who felt the big business would not take anything from the table, to repeat the famous words.
What can you tell us doc?
