Here's what they said about Straightfromthedoc:

Dr. Kevin Pho, an internal medicine physician who also runs the popular Weblog KevinMd.com (www.kevinmd.com/blog), endeavors to give a physician's opinion on an often confusing world of health information and news. He spends most of his time focusing on newly released drugs and technology such as the possibility of a generic version of the asthma drug Allegra or the feasibility of a portable dialysis machine in the near future. You'll find discussion about recent medical studies like the link between birth control pills and cardiovascular disease. There is even an analysis of Vice President Dick Cheney's annual physical results. At the same time, there are posts that focus on the human side of medicine: A father writes about his delivery room experience at the birth of his first child. Postings are archived by month, categories (such as Treatments and News) and there are links to recent entries.
