The Hospital

With so many different physician financial blogs out there, it is tough to keep track of all the great content being published on a daily basis.

Part of my daily routine was to visit as many physician blogs as I could and see if there was any new content to read.

This soon became quite time consuming as the number of physician bloggers continued to expand.

I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be so much easier if I could go to one site, see a list of all the latest posts by all the physician bloggers, and pick and choose which ones caught my eye?”

That is why I created The Hospital, a place where all the physicians can be found under one roof along with their contributions to the medical/financial library.

These posts will be listed in chronological order (newest at the top) and updated every other hour.

Bookmark this page and make visiting it a part of your daily routine to ensure that you will never let your prescriptions to these blogs expire (you can think of this page as the Anti-Apple (you know, the one that keeps the doctors away).

[If I have inadvertently left out a physician blog that would like to be added to the Hospital, please send me your credentials via the contact form and I will grant you hospital privileges]
