Basically, you install a little plug-in into your browser that provides you with a “stumble” button. Whenever you click on it, you will be sent to a web site that either fits the categories you pre-selected as topics you are interested in, or you will be sent to a web site that your friends have flagged as interesting.

Why am I telling you this? Well, RookieDoctor.com is on StumbleUpon. And as I go through sites that I think may be of interest to you for your training, I flag it. (I give it a “thumbs up.”) You can choose to “stumble” through the sites RookieDoctor.com has given a thumbs up or you can go to RookieDoc’s StumbleUpon page and see which sites they are.

Also, if you happen to like one of the posts on this blog, you can give it a thumbs up by using the icon at the bottom of the post. You can also review it and post comments for other “stumblers”.

If you have any sites you think I should comment on or stumble, let me know. And if you join StumbleUpon, then tag me as a friend.

Even intending good, you may offend someone or make them feel violated. In this case, a surgeon was sued for giving a temporary tattoo. Kind of cute to some… deeply violated to others.

And the point is not to be careful just because you will get sued. No. Be careful, because you may leave someone feeling violated and you might get sued. Both.

Personally, I’d have trouble sleeping in either case.

I’ll answer some questions on the RookieDoc FAQs – these are occasional phone conferences for RookieDoc fans and members where I discuss a hot topic or answer questions.

Ask Me About Internship or Residency

I may not get to every question directly, but may be able to post important answers here, in special RookieDoc reports (PDF), on the RookieDoc Squidoo lens, or in the Audio Tips series.
