• Richard Smith: Trying to redefine health

  
  BMJ — Authority: 470

  The progressive Iraq/Afghanistan veterans group VoteVets has been, to the best of my knowledge, supportive of a properly resourced and focused Afghanistan strategy for quite some time.

• Richard Smith: Dead philosophers can make you laugh

  
  BMJ — Authority: 470

• A new blog worth noting: “Evidence In Medicine”

  
  e-Patients.net — Authority: 531
  Understanding medical research, at some level, is a fundamental e-patient skill. As we start digging for reliable new information, we have to learn to separate quality from questionable.
