Medecine. Oops, Politics.

Via Instapundit:

BILL FRIST has started a group medical blog.

I appreciate the link, which allowed me to determine what was really meant -

"BILL FRIST'S PAC has started a partisan political blog about health care."

I was confused at first, since I was thinking it was a medical blog (as in the doctor bloggers who write about the advance of medicine and medical science, or the life of the medical practitioner; the kind who submit their articles to Grand Rounds). Then I read the MedicalMatters.org Mission Statement:

-Our mission is to promote the GOP’s health care policy priorities and provide a forum to discuss 21st century medical challenges.
-We will also highlight the failures of the Democrat Party to address these long-term challenges.

I appreciate the transparency of their partisan position. They also state candidly on another page that MedicalMatters.org is "a project of Senator Bill Frist's leadership committee, VOLPAC".

People actually interested in medical blogs might prefer to take a look at the many blogs that have hosted Grand Rounds. (There is now also Pediatric Grand Rounds, check it out).
