The health/medical equivalent of Wickipedia is birthed - MEDPEDIA. I'm a certified editor. Which means I get to write and edit cool stuff YOU can use in your world. Heh.
Fabulous, fabulous piece in last week's ROLLING STONE - BITTER PILL. The story behind the marketing makeover of olanzapine (ZYPREXA) into a $16 Billion Booya. Really, do the nation's schizophrenics need that much ZYPREXA? Thank you, Ben Wallace-Wells, for a fabu piece of journalism.That's it. folks. HAPPY FRIDAY! Peace, Linda
NB: IN MEMORIAM... CHRISTOPHER NOLAN. His UNDER THE BANYAN TREE... exquisite. His life: remarkable and inspiring. He wrote against odds I cannot even begin to fathom...

P&W has been doing some really good posts. The four editors is great. Same folks that brought us the four agents, if I remember correctly. Both pretty long, but well worth the read.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the Medpeia thing. Sounds like a lot of work, but that you are excited to be doing it. It's great when someone really loves their work.

ReplyDeleteLinda, I bow to your expertise. Do you have any idea how much work Medpedia will entail?

Hey all, MEDPEDIA will be as much work as I want it to be. I focus on medications, geriatrics, mental health, and substance abuse, and will mostly edit other's work and maybe pen a few entries myself.
ReplyDeleteNothing inflames me more than reading fiction/memoir/non-fic that has WRONG medical and health info. Hence my involvement in the MEDPEDIA project.
