Arte y Pico

ruraldoctoring has bestowed upon me the arte y pico award. she praised me with possibly the nicest words ever spoken about my blog. i quote:

"One of the best writers in New Media Medicine, his posts are both gripping and intensely moving. He's like a blogging Joseph Conrad."

the rules of the award are as follows.

Here are the rules:

1. You have to pick five blogs that you consider deserve this award in terms of creativity, design, interesting material, and general contributions to the blogger community, no matter what language.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3. Each winner has to show the award and give the name and link to the blog that has given him or her the award itself.
4. Each winner and each giver of the prize has to show the link of “Arte y pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
5. To show these rules.

so let's see if i can nominate a few.

1. just up the dose is a very well written blog and also gives a good insight into south african medicine.
2. a really worthwhile read is buckeye, a surgeon after my own heart, even if he objects to my open appendisectomies.
3. make mine trauma has such a love for her work which is clearly portrayed on her blog.
4. eishmadiskakhi may be a new blog but so typically south african and so very entertaining, it definitely deserves mention.
5. it may be a blog in hiatus, but surgeonsblog is still the best medical blog in my humble opinion.
   

please check out these worthwhile blogs.
