The Happy MD Responds: Physician Social Media

Yesterday Dike Drummond, M.D., responded to my blog post about the ROI for physicians engaged in social media. Rather than bury his response as a comment, I thought I’d feature it here as a guest post. His response is thoughtful and provides context for our conversation. Take a look:

Hey Dan,

Thanks for this thoughtful post. Just the kind of introspection I had hoped this article would prompt in its readers. Looking at your perspective and mine on this very popular and important issue … I am reminded of the parable of the blind men and the elephant.

Each is touching a different part of the animal and assuming it is a completely different thing. The key here is BOTH of our viewpoints are valid when you understand our very different perspectives.

What you failed to share with your readers is the purpose of my blog and business…
