(At the time, there must have been at least dozens. <span style="font-style: italic;">Dozens</span>.)<br /><br />This was <a href="http://efficientmd.blogspot.com/2008/05/eavesdrop-on-doctors-and-medical.html">the first solution</a>. In retrospect, it was hilariously cobbled-together:<br /><blockquote>This is a feed containing the conversations of all known doctors and medical students who use <a href="http://www.twitter.com/">Twitter</a>:<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/doctorsontwitter"> http://feeds.feedburner.com/doctorsontwitter</a>. (If that doesn't work, you can try <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=8oxpsk0k3RG3G4rkODY80A">the original feed from Yahoo Pipes</a> instead.) Technical details, for those interested: I used <a href="http://www.kidneynotes.com/2007/10/doctors-and-medical-students-on-twitter.html">this list of doctors/medical students on Kidney Notes</a>, ran each person's Twitter feed through <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=8oxpsk0k3RG3G4rkODY80A">Yahoo Pipes</a>, then burned a <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/doctorsontwitter">FeedBurner feed</a>.<br /></blockquote>When <a href="http://friendfeed.com/">FriendFeed</a> debuted, I created "<a href="http://efficientmd.blogspot.com/2008/07/doctors-room-on-friendfeed.html">The Doctor's Room</a>," which was populated by both Twitter feeds and RSS feeds of physicians. Unfortunately, the "room" feature was poorly designed by FriendFeed (which has since been acquired by Facebook). Like the Yahoo Pipes experiment, the FriendFeed room was an educational failure.<br /><br />A month ago, Twitter finally debuted the "lists" feature, allowing each user to create subscribable lists of other users. Below is a sample. (For clarity, the second column is the number of users in the list, the third column is the number of users subscribed to the list. Got it?)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xMVaj3y1aws/Sv34haiJ7uI/AAAAAAAAAh4/sF0B6ddl9bA/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-11-13+at+7.20.41+PM.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 313px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xMVaj3y1aws/Sv34haiJ7uI/AAAAAAAAAh4/sF0B6ddl9bA/s320/Screen+shot+2009-11-13+at+7.20.41+PM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403748380856413922" border="0" /></a><br /><br />While not a perfect solution, lists are a simple way to discover health care practitioners on Twitter. (<span style="font-style: italic;">Finally</span>.) Services like <a href="http://listorious.com/">Listorious</a> have also appeared which use the Twitter API to create searchable lists of lists.<br /><br />For easy reference, here's a list of some of the more popular lists of doctors on Twitter:<br /><ul><li><a href="http://twitter.com/enochchoi/doctors" class="list_358754" data="{"mode":"public","uri":"/enochchoi/doctors","dispatch_action":"list","slug":"doctors","member_count":500,"full_name":"@enochchoi/doctors","user":"enochchoi","name":"doctors","id":358754,"subscriber_count":75}" title="@enochchoi/doctors"><span>@enochchoi/<wbr><b>doctors</b></span></a></li><li><a href="http://twitter.com/enochchoi/moredoctors" class="list_1810488" data="{"mode":"public","uri":"/enochchoi/moredoctors","dispatch_action":"list","slug":"moredoctors","member_count":198,"full_name":"@enochchoi/moredoctors","user":"enochchoi","name":"MoreDoctors","id":1810488,"subscriber_count":16}" title="@enochchoi/MoreDoctors"><span>@enochchoi/<wbr><b>moredoctors</b></span></a></li><li><a href="http://twitter.com/drwalker_rph/healthcare" class="list_722583" data="{"mode":"public","uri":"/drwalker_rph/healthcare","dispatch_action":"list","slug":"healthcare","member_count":442,"full_name":"@drwalker_rph/healthcare","user":"drwalker_rph","name":"healthcare","id":722583,"subscriber_count":44}" title="@drwalker_rph/healthcare"><span>@drwalker_rph/<wbr><b>healthcare</b></span></a></li><li><a href="http://twitter.com/hrana/twitter-doctors" class="list_40934" data="{"mode":"public","uri":"/hrana/twitter-doctors","dispatch_action":"list","slug":"twitter-doctors","member_count":399,"full_name":"@hrana/twitter-doctors","user":"hrana","name":"Twitter Doctors","id":40934,"subscriber_count":91}" title="@hrana/Twitter Doctors"><span>@hrana/<wbr><b>twitter-doctors</b></span></a></li><li><a href="http://twitter.com/drwalker_rph/healthcare" class="list_722583" data="{"mode":"public","uri":"/drwalker_rph/healthcare","dispatch_action":"list","slug":"healthcare","member_count":442,"full_name":"@drwalker_rph/healthcare","user":"drwalker_rph","name":"healthcare","id":722583,"subscriber_count":44}" title="@drwalker_rph/healthcare"><span><wbr></span></a><a href="http://twitter.com/scanman/medtweeps" class="list_856813" data="{"mode":"public","uri":"/scanman/medtweeps","dispatch_action":"list","slug":"medtweeps","member_count":247,"full_name":"@scanman/medtweeps","user":"scanman","name":"medtweeps","id":856813,"subscriber_count":18}" title="@scanman/medtweeps"><span>@scanman/<wbr><b>medtweeps</b></span></a></li></ul>(You can find me at <a href="http://twitter.com/JoshuaSchwimmer">twitter.com/JoshuaSchwimmer</a>.
