There has been a lot of chatter in the blogosphere about medical bloggers and HIPAA regulations so let me make this very clear: I write composite stories about many different people that I've cared for over the years.

Yeah that is one of the reasons why I got rid of my blog… Some days I long for the old days that were before I could walk and talk but then I remember the uniforms from pics I have seen… white nylons not for me. Hold fast MJ. Luv reading your blog and opinions!

I looked up my old address and noticed some anonymous person has snatched it up and filled it with crap adverts… how odd. :S

What is going on? Did I miss something? Maybe I dont see it because I really dont talk about my patients on my blog because I am HIPPA paranoid.

I put up a post at Dr. A’s new blog that explains my theory about what’s going on. Here’s the link:

Thanks, MJ, for this post!
911doc, I agree with MJ’s theory but I also believe that the reason for this semi-mass bailing stems from threats and the like. For instance, Fat Doctor made her blog private because someone at work.
