Hello! Above is the video post I did as a wrap-up for last night’s Doctor Anonymous Show in true Dr.A. fashion, except Dr. A. did his before I got to do mine! However, I still did it, because, as Wilford Brimley would say: “It’s the right thing to do.” haha

Thanks again to my star-studded panel: Ramona Bates of Suture for a Living, Mother Jones, RN of Nurse Ratched’s Place, Val Jones of Getting Better with Dr. Val, and Bongi of Other Things Amanzi. I am still in awe that these A-list bloggers all took 90+ minutes out of their Thursday to spend with me.  Awesome.

Also thanks to Vijay of Scanman’s Notes for calling in all the way from India; you made it a cross-contiental event x2!

Whether  you were there or missed the show, go the link above so you can listen to the archive, download it to your computer/music player, whatever you like.

I know I haven’t posted anything since Grand Rounds on Tuesday, but I had to catch up on “real life” things and then get ready for tonight, so it’s been a bit hectic! I promise I have some cool stuff in the pipeline, so when things slow down this weekend on the “more popular” blogs (heh), come on back and I’ll have goodies for ya.

Hope to see you tonight! If you can’t make the show, don’t worry–the archive of the show will be available later tonight at the BlogTalkRadio site about an hour or so after the show ends.  Download it to your iPod and enjoy!

Update 03December: Confirmed panelists are Ramona Bates, Mother Jones, Val Jones, and Bongi (schedule permitting). It’s a star-studded event, ladies and gentlemen! Even Dr. A. is jealous! hehe

That was fun! I was honest when I said I did it in one take, believe it or not. I’m a pretty nim quick-witted person, and I actually thought of the whole “effect”/”transition” thing as I was talking up to that point. I filmed the “extra” scene separately, of course, but the rest of it was one take. The “goodies” were added in post, of course, and if it didn’t work I simply would have re-recorded another, less-silly take to replace this. I think it was a success!

I really, really have to give a shout out to Dr. Anonymous who pioneered so much multimedia for us medbloggers and who does his own video blogs about his radio show (before and after) as well as his own personal topics. Emily McGee, aka crzegrl, is also a pioneering medical vblogger whom I’ve admired greatly for putting herself out there and talking about her job and life in informative, silly, and touching ways.  Lastly, Vijay aka Scanman, had a brief foray into this area, but I think he dropped it in favor of audio ‘casts. It’s all good–I think anything we do to reach out to readers and each other in new and different ways just makes our social and professional networks that much stronger and more fulfilling.  Cheers to all of you, and now me, too!

As I mentioned in the spot above, a lot will be coming soon of a personal, and at times, difficult nature. I know I need to finish my personal illness story, and believe me when I say it has the highest priority.  After a week or so when I’m far more “caught up” with posting my narratives (I’m not going to inundate the blog all at once) I think you’ll understand where I’m coming from. I think you’ll also see that if after all that I’m still around, then I’m not going anywhere!  On to more posts, and thank you, thank you, thank you for caring enough to still be around–you’re the best!
