Dr. Mike Woods has started a very interesting blog with an unique/unusual focus: physician personal leadership. Some memorable quotes from his first week in the blogosphere:

"Medicine is a good example of an entire profession failing to commit to the obvious. The profession is filled with bright people, yet many have an almost infinite capacity to ignore basic truths that limit the achievement of excellence."

"While tort reform is a worthy endeavor, the profession conveniently ignores the fact that 80% of all claims are related to ineffective physician communication and inappropriate behavior in the course of caring for a patient."

"I do what I do because I became aware of my personal failings after I quit- yes, quit- medicine. I had become disgusted with the profession and the way physicians behaved and treated other people, including their colleagues. And a funny thing happened."
