dr og has shut down his blog. sob. there goes another talented, witty, deeply insightful soul... how many others are they going to 'clamp' down upon? until we get a population akin to the one in 'brave new world' (aldous huxley)? something as in 'Gattaca'? a population like that described by Ayn Rand in her books?great, doctors can't blog about things that happen in the hospitals even if the patients' identity and other facts are kept confidential... then, shouldn't it also be that the 100 thousand other blogs by workers on their co-workers, jobs... or by students about their lessons and teachers should not be allowed too?
i'm befuddled what the-powers-that-be want to achieve... i somehow think they're puzzled too. suddenly caught off guard by this newfound freedom of speech in the virtual world that's just spreading like wildfire... or maybe an epidemic. heh.
oh please, YLL, spare us the misery and just come out with a set of blogging guidelines will ya? at least then we know what to blog and what not to blog. or at least, we'll then be able to work our way around the loopholes of your guidelines.. heh.
or maybe... a license to blog should be issued? ah, that's something else you could charge us for?
so right now... i think i've come to the crossroads.... got 4 paths:
1. continue with my blog, like playing with fire
2. start a password protected blog (but experience has shown that pple can break yr code, or friends can betray u)
3. start a semi-private blog where only self-absorbed entries and daydreams can be read by the public while the real content is private (like that then blog for what rite?)
4. put this matter on hold, go study for O&G first!
i choose option 4.... you all cannot choose that ah!
hey pple, suggestions on what is the best way out of this fix?

I think some guidelines are needed to be set abt blogging. In the meantime, I try not to play with fire and choose option 4. Its pretty safe.
oh dear...
PPLE. you're not supposed to choose option 4.
perhaps i din make it clear...
sorry about that.
sian abt guidelines... guide this and that... wht's the point of guidelines when the guidelines CHANGE and are ever-changing. heh. we can't beat that unless WE are the ones setting them rite?

interesting line of thought... story telling. heh heh heh...
like what angry doctor does...
though i doubt that'll work well unless no one is ever going to find out who he actually is. :)
Don't shut down your blog. Am a silent reader here. Just dropping in to say hi. :)
keep on blogging!
and if they try to clamp down on us, we'll haul their asses to court on the basis of free speech!
and if we lose, we'll petition amnesty international and take our case before the world court!
hoho.
it'll be fun.
to all our angsty juniors who love to blog and respect freedom of speech and expression:
my advice is to stop blogging about the going-ons in the hospital/healthcare system. a number of us more tech-savvy, vocal and opinionated drs are in lots of deep shit now cause of our blogs.
the current climate is that there is a lack of support for free speech, and amnesty international will not be able to help much either. the clamping down WILL continue.
this is how the place we live in works unfortunately
bail your asses out before you get into the same trouble as we are going through now - we are indignant at how the powers to be are treating us, our career prospects are dimmed, our families are going through much emotional turmoil... we (and hopefully not you) are trying to fight an archaic system run by dinosaurs with links almost akin to a massive conspiracy
save yourselves before it's too late.
hey...
thanks for the comment, currently i'm considering what i should do...
maybe find some other kind of life to blog about (though unfortunately, my 'life' is kind of limited...)
PS: it would be good if you hadn't signed off as 'anonymous'. it kind of makes thing more 'real' even if a pseudoname were used. thanks anyway!
if you are trying to fight an archaic system, surely you don't expect us to leave others to fight in our name?
i, in any case, will not allow it.
something a bit off this topic... sometimes i wonder...
all these 'old' ways of doing things... eg. long calls and lack of sleep. we all know it affects our ability to function, increases chances of errors and all that... but, why doesn't anyone go do anything about it?
issit cuz we're all too afraid to standup to the 'resistance' from the senior guys (who feel that since they've survived, we MUST as well) and we're all too un-united to make a strong enough point to effect changes?
or maye all those lone voices who dared to wish for a change were all clamped down before they could do much else?
