The article above was concise and interesting. It wrote about the slippery slope that healthcare providers (physicans in this case) have to worry about when blogging. It stated that professionals do have the right of freedom of speech but also have an obligation of the right of pts confidentiality. It concluded that one should err on the side of caution and be prudent until our professions evolved enough to include such technological matters (Dainton,
2009).

I also saw this article and thought it was very interesting. We have all these HIPPA laws in place that prevent us from even talking over the phone to family members about patient information. It would be interesting to see what HIPPA says about blogging and if they have even adapted the laws to the social networking or blogging sites.
