Show 86 Wrap-up



Thanks to those of you who were able to check out Show 86 from Washington, DC. (You can still listen to the show in the player above, or, even download the show here and listen anytime). Of course, it was National Doctors Day when this show was recorded and I talked a little bit about that at the top of the show. I also shared my experience with my quick trips to Baltimore and Washington. At the end of the show, I talked about the exciting April schedule for The Doctor Anonymous Show. I travel home this afternoon and return to real life. It's always nice to take some time off every once in a while. I should really do this more :)

Out of town weekend


Just wanted to let you know that there is no Doctor Anonymous Show tonight as I will be observing "Earth Hour" by not doing a show tonight - just kidding. Actually, I will be out of town this weekend for some rest and relaxation. Where am I going? Well, you will know if you follow me on twitter. I'll give the updates as I go along.

However, I will be doing a special Monday night edition of The Doctor Anonymous Show from my "undisclosed location" on Monday, March 30th, 2009 at 6pm Eastern Time. I'll be talking about my weekend and also talking about Doctors Day.

If you didn't already know, the HUGE Medbloggers meetup has been finalized. It will be in October and it will be in Las Vegas at Blog World Expo/New Media Expo. This was announced by our buddy Emergiblog yesterday. So, I'll be talking about that as well.

Finally, in the video above, it is the end of Show 85 where I talk about this news story from CNN. Sometimes out of tragedy does come good news. What am I talking about? Well, check out the video and find out. Have a great weekend everybody!

Show 85 Wrap-up



Thanks to Brandice and Angelo for coming on Show 85 to talk about Podcamp Ohio. (Check out the video post above. You can also listen to the show on the player here, and even download the show here and listen anytime.)

Brandice and Angelo helped me talk through possibly giving a session at this year's Podcamp Ohio. In medical blogging and podcasting, patient privacy issues are something that is always talked about with my friends and colleagues in the industry. Angelo also gave some suggestions about possibly talking about health and medicine information resources out there on the internet. With regards to Podcamp, Angelo gave some updates on sessions, registration, and lodging for the event.

To close out the show tonight, I talked about this story entitled "Natasha's lesson help saves Ohio girl." This is the last 10 minutes of the show where I give some commentary on this story. I'll also try to put up a video post on this coming up soon.

Just FYI, there will be no Saturday night show as I will be out of town. Where am I going? Well, keep track of my on Twitter and you will get some clues there. In addition, I am considering doing a special Monday night show from on location from where I'm at. As I have talked about before, Monday, March 30th will be National Doctors Day. So, don't forget your favorite doc on Monday. Have a great weekend everybody!

Dr. A Show 85: Podcamp Ohio


BlogTalkRadio Listen Live

Thursday, March 26th, 2009 at 9pm Eastern Time (0100 UTC)

Tonight, The Doctor Anonymous Show will be talking Podcamp Ohio. And, we will be doing something unique on the show. I need your help, because I'm thinking about doing a session at this year's event. The only idea that I have is that it will be related to medicine and new media. Other than that, the possibilities are endless.

My guest will be our buddy Brandice who has her own website and a very popular podcast called STeaP which is centered around the topic of tea. In addition to talk about her projects, I'm going to have her help me brainstorm about doing a session at this year's Podcamp.

If you are new to the show, I encourage you to catch us live. There is a great chat room that also goes on. You can even see my shining face on the webcam. In addition, you can call into the show to say hello. Can't catch us live? That's ok. You can listen anytime after the show as it is saved as a podcast so you can listen later.

For first time Blog Talk Radio listeners:
*Although it is not required to listen to the show, I encourage you to register on the BlogTalkRadio site prior to the show. I think it will make the process easier.

*To get to my show site, click here. As show time gets closer, keep hitting "refresh" on your browser until you see the "Play/Chat" button. Then, of course, press the "Play/Chat" button.

*You can also participate in the live chat room before, during, and after the show. Look for the green "Chat Now" button. If you are registered with the BTR site, your registered name and picture will appear in the chat room.

*You can also call into the show. The number is on my show site. If you have a headset microphone, you can "call" into the show by looking for the "Click To Talk" button at the top of the chat box to try out the BTR VoIP option. Hope these tips are helpful!

Weird

Over the past few weeks, I've been using Facebook as a video sharing site for the show. Everything has been going great until tonight when I'm looking at my blog page and all I see is "Video Unavailable." That's not good. I hope that it is a temporary thing. I have the "privacy" settings so that "everybody" can see them. So, let me know, can you see any of the videos that I have recently posted? If not, then I may have to find another video sharing site. Yeesh.

Show 85 Preview


On this week's Doctor Anonymous Show, I'm going to do something that I have never done before on the show. That's right, I'm asking you - the devoted Doctor Anonymous listener and reader of the blog - to help me create a presentation which I will give at PodCamp Ohio 2.

We'll be talking Podcamp Ohio this week on the show. Our good friend Brandice from Brandice.Net will join me and we will throw around ideas for a possible medicine/healthcare/new media talk to take place June 20, 2009 in Columbus, Ohio at this year's Podcamp Ohio. We'll also get and update on the event as well as talking with Brandice about her website and other projects.

What the heck should I talk about? How would you want a medicine & new media talk to go at an event like this? The possibilities are endless. So, join me and Brandice on Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 9pm Eastern Time on BlogTalkRadio as we talk about this any other topics. Hope to see you for the show. (Don't forget to check out the video post above)
