Chris Lydon's Open Source radio broadcast

Last night (sorry I missed it) was the initial show in a series of radio broadcasts by Chris Lydon called, "Open Source."

His blog shows the topics for the upcoming shows, and tonight at 7 pm you can catch (the streaming broadcast is you're not within the WGBH radio signal) "The Doctor Will Google You Now."

Is the internet taking the mystery out of medicine? Although access to healthcare hasn’t improved, access to medical information has. As a result, patients are now spending more time at PubMed than the neighborhood saloon. The effect is sobering to physicians who had enjoyed a centuries old monopoly on medspeak. Docs may have been knocked from their pedestals but they aren’t down for the count. They too are basking in the benefits of cyberspace. The inspired diagnosis is only a Blackberry away.

I don't know too many people who go to saloons. Sounds like something from Deadwood.
