DB’s Medical Rants: New additions to the medical blogroll
Actually Medrants is part of why I even started this thing.
I’m a classroom teacher and one of my major frustrations is the lack of textbooks for my subject that my students will read. I’ve done a lot of research, have even proofed and read for a couple of textbook publishers, but didn’t get started on writing until I started this weblog. I have 12 chapters done — though I admit they are very short chapters, since my students hate to read.
Also, I remember how scared, depressed, frustrated I was when I was first diagnosed. One of the things I’m very good at, is web based research, so that’s how I started to deal with this diabetes. Why not pull what I’ve learned into one spot, so that other people can benefit.
Finally, just keeping it going has been therapetic for me. When I get frustrated and / or bogged down, I even remember that I need to stop that, because it will get others down.
