My understanding from briefly reading a number of items about it is that Flea settled his malpractice case because he blogged far too specifically about details of his case and opposing counsel found out about it. If his comments about the case were seen by the jury, it is unlikely he could have won the case. Flea was not prosecuted for blogging. Flea's blogging made his case unwinnable. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with physicians blogging, but that some topics and attitudes are unwise to showcase in a blog. JBI-

Flea was not prosecuted for blogging. Flea’s blogging made his case unwinnable. That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with physicians blogging, but that some topics and attitudes are unwise to showcase in a blog.

Additionally, several other medical bloggers have closed up shop either out of fear or from administrative pressure at their workplaces.... i was just wondering what, if there is any, difference is between the two bc they seem awfully similiar to me, but i'm an english guy so there may be something i'm missing. any insight would be greatly appreciated.... well, Flea just lost his malpractice suit due to his blogging.

Would you recommend any particular reading with which I could get caught up on the topic? Thanks! Hi JBI-

I know virtually nothing about the medical bloggers being sued that you mention, so I really couldn’t say. Would you recommend any particular reading with which I could get caught up on the topic?
