Scalpel's Edge

A surgeon's notes

The Australian Medical blogroll

I am slowly starting to discover a world of Australian medical blogging. I have had a hard time finding a blogroll of my Australian colleagues, so I would like to create one here.

    Seems like the Med students are now taking over. Any other suggestions for nursing, EMT and doctor blogs?

  6. Outbackambo says:

    Wow, thanks for listing me. Quite honoured.

    Some’s another ambo one:
    * Taz the Ambo – http://taztheambo.blogspot.com/ – Paramedic with ASNSW

    Also, the links for the last blogs in each section doesn’t seem to work (linked to the wrong sites, eg. Amanzi Down Under)

  7. Cris says:

    @Outbackambo: You’re welcome for the addition to the list, and thanks for letting us know about Taz. Hopefully, I have fixed the links problem.

  8. Cris says:

    good on you dr cris for making a list. im sure this post of yours will have a high “reference rating” (is that what its called?)

    ill let you know if there are any more i find.

  10. Cris says:

    @jeff: Thanks, Jeff. I have found a couple of lists since, but I am hoping to keep this one as complete as possible, so hopefully it can stay around for a while. I love the idea of Aussie bloggers acting as a reference for new bloggers starting out.

  11. Kezza says:

    This list a great idea Cris! There’s also my blog at: http://kpiau.com/journal/

  12. Jellyhead says:

    Hi Cris, thanks for listing me here. I feel like a minor celebrity! Any minute now I’ll start a gushy speech thanking my parents, and you’ll have to cue some music to shut me up.

    I don’t personally know of any other Aussie medical blogs, but will be sure to come back here and list them if I discover a new one.

    Good on you for getting us disorganised medicos into some sort of order! Thanks again

    Jellyhead
