Two blogs I’ve really been enjoying recently are B.L. Ochman’s What’s Next Blog and Joe Salvati’s State of the Heart Blog

Joe has written a very compelling blog about his experiences with heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. B.L. writes about corporate blogging strategy. Joe, meet B.L. B.L., meet Joe. I think you might want to compare notes about Joe’s recent post Direct TV.

Joe writes, “I was contacted by administrators from the Clinic. It seems it had been brought to their attention that I had been writing a very public account of my experiences while under the care of the clinic. I was told that there are “…many people paying attention to my blog and if there is anything that I am or have been unhappy with I should speak directly with a “patient advocate”.”

I would love to hear B.L.’s take on Joe’s experience. Meanwhile, a close friend of mine has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Tomorrow she is having a lymph node biopsy. Perhaps we can convince her to write about her experiences, if only to get better service.
