Sara Stein, MD
Physician
July 31, 2013

A former neighbor (not a close friend, but a pleasant fellow whom I run into less than occasionally) rented a house to a medical student and his family. They seemed reliable enough, and signed a 4 year lease. Over time, the medical student and the landlord began to feud over who does what. Usually things like landscaping were at …

August 22, 2011

Occasionally, my vocation of treating obesity and my avocation of health care social media intersect.

This is one of those moments. This is the story of a health care social media betrayal in which obese children and e-patients are the victims. Nobody died, except medical ethics, good judgment, and trust in doctors. This is WebMD’s Health Care Social Media Disaster.

Recently, WebMD published the following “advertorial” from Kellogg’s: “Mums, kids & breakfast: The …
