I heard you did an interview with the International Medical Tourism Association? How about doing one with the US based Medical Tourism Association?

David-
I would like to talk to you about purchasing some buzz and/or receiving an honerable mention (including a text link) in your blog for two web-sites: mobilemedicalpractice.com and hippocratespublishing.com. I work for a search marketing company, and we believe your blog fits in line with their niche.
To give you a little insight on both sites-
Hippocrates Publishing: Since 2004, Hippocrates Publishing has provided invaluable support to thousands of medical professionals all over the world. Their specialty is in writing and publishing books and booklets to assist physicians with medical practice marketing and niche medical practices.
Mobile Medical Practice: Founded in 1998, HouseCall Doctors, a Mobile Medical Practice, was formed in order to educate and support physicians in their transition from office-based positions to medical house call practices. Their mission is to provide valuable information as well as start-up assistance to those seeking a viable, more attractive alternative to practicing medicine.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am Kevin from the editorial team at Nutricap Labs. We are a Nutraceuticals Manufacturer Services provider based out of Farmingdale, NY.
I and my colleagues refer to your website http://www.healthbusinessblog.com very often and find the content of great value for learning and our work.
I would like to propose adding few of our articles on your website which are related to Nutraceuticals industry. Couple of interesting topics that we have worked on recently and would like to submit on your website are related to Supplement Contract Manufacturing and Supplement Manufacturing 101. The first article provides the due information related to basics of supplement contract manufacturing and the later explains the rules and regulations involved in the supplement manufacturing. I would just like you to provide due credit to my company by mentioning its name and website URL at the bottom of the article.
Please let me know if you approve my proposal. Looking forward to your positive response.
Regards,
Kevin Agrawal

Dear David,
I have enjoyed reading your posts and wanted to introduce you to my blog, http://healthcarecollaboration.com/blog/, which focuses on ways that physicians, nurses, healthcare leaders, and board members can act more independently.
I am a practicing general surgeon/ MBA and occasionally touch on topics related to the interface of business and medicine, as with my post on collaborative innovation, http://healthcarecollaboration.com/collaborative-innovation/
I also edited the recently published Business of Healthcare, a 3-volume set comprising practice management, leadership, and improving systems of care, http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/C9235.aspx.
I have added you to my blogroll and would appreciate your considering adding my blog to your physician section
Thanks

Appreciate adding my site to your links. My site is unique I believe as it offers business topics and education for physicians. I am redesigning mine and will add a link to yours. Thanks

I have been researching Health care Management sites recently looking to add some valuable educational resources. Your blog is interesting and informative. Have you ever considered writing a post about some very reputable online degree programs in Healthcare Management? I think including information on your blog about these programs as well as direct program page links could prove very convenient and beneficial to your site and it’s users. It’s likely that many of the users that enjoy your site could be looking for information on programs where they can earn their degree from home. (or looking for higher rated schools/programs that may be lacking in their communities). Please contact me with any questions/information you may have.
PS Something to consider: this past week was National Distance Learning Week, a lot of people who have taken part in writing about the programs I represent have tied the two together.
Thank you so much for your time,
Kristin Babiarz

Lately, it seems many of us are in need of a little TLC. The economy,
politics…. stress and pressure distract us from taking care of the
health and happiness of ourselves and our loved ones.
To help send TLC, we developed Wellgram.com.
Wellgram.com is a FREE service designed to promote support and care
between people.
We are proud to share this new service for communicating messages of
health and well-being.
Wellgram.com allows users to send multiple messages from the internet to
cell phones or email.
The site is unique in that it allows for the creation, rating,
commenting of message sequences, which can be sent according to a
personal delivery schedule created by the user.
Perhaps Wellgram.com can help us live happier, healthy lives. Imagine
receiving a motivational text message from a family member as you work
to quit smoking or begin exercising regularly. Or, send a tense friend a
Wellgram via email to remind her daily to perform stress relieving
exercises at the office. We’ve used it ourselves.
Finally Wellgram.com offers a venue for the creation of a community that
can collaboratively create the best, most useful messages ever created
for health and well-being. The site allows for users to comment on each
others’ sequences, rate them, and edit them for reuse.
In times like these, who couldn’t use a FREE service to feel better?
We hope you enjoy our site!

Hi David,
I went to BCC and graduated in 1989. While you seem an old man compared to me (LOL) where did you go to school in the area? My boss graduated from BCC in the early 1980′s and his dad was the chief negotiator in the air traffic controller mess… Any chance we know each other?

Hello –
I wanted to introduce you to a new site – FacetoFace Health – which is designed to match patients to information and other people. People can enter their medical condition as part of their profile and then can get matched to others just like them. Think of it as match.com for healthcare. It will also match patients to things like clinical trials, new medications, etc. So it becomes a new means of drug companies to provide information to the health consumer.
Thanks for your blog.
November 13th, 2009 at 2:46 am
That is really very good article. I am glad to know. Thanks!
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Hi David,
How would I get in touch with you via email? I follow you on Twitter as DDLIncorporated and wanted to get in touch with you to introduce myself, as I am looking to connect with consultants in the medical device and biotech industries. There may be some synergy between what we do that would be interesting to explore.
Please feel free to send me an email with a response.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to mention http://physicianpracticespecialists.com for any physician interested in starting a medical practice.
There is also a great EMR/EHR resource in http://freeEMRsolution.com that covers all of the topics from EMR reviews, stimulus money, to implementation strategies.
Hope this helps.
Andrew
Also, I would be happy to entertain a link exchange for either of these sites if interested.

David, I would like to suggest a podcast with Linda Nash, Founder of PartnerMD (a concierge practice based in Richmond, VA), on the explosive growth of concierge and how the approach (24/7 access to doctors, longer appointment times, more thorough annual exams) has made a difference in the lives of patients. Linda served on Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine’s Healthcare Commission charged with reducing the costs of health care, and Barack Obama’s Women’s Leadership Committee. PartnerMD is the latest in a string of businesses she started. The company has zero debt and its 10 doctors now serve over 3.600 patients. It’s a model people don’t know much about and it’s growing very fast.

Thank you for your valuable site. I would like to mention http://searchphysicianjobs.net which is a free physician job advertising site and is a great way to help any organization recruit great physicians without using recruiters.
Thanks again for your site.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Last year Europe Business Association (EBA) held a highly successful medical tourism summit in Malta, with nearly 100 senior figures from 19 countries gathering to discuss the sector.
The second Malta Medical Tourism Summit, 3rd-4th June, 2010 at the Corinthia San Gorg Hotel and Business Centre, St Julian’s, is set to bring together many senior figures within the industry, last year’s inaugural conference attracting nearly 100 decision-makers from 19 countries.
With increasing healthcare costs and pressures on household budgets worldwide, medical tourism and the opportunities it affords, both to patient and practitioner, continues to evolve. This year’s summit will not only mark progress and changes, but outline best practice, new processes and programmes and new thinking which will help medical tourism move forward with confidence.
International speakers leading an interactive forum
Our international panel of expert speakers in the field will be sharing their thoughts and experiences on topics such as:
• The dynamics of the current medical tourism marketplace
• Implementation of cross border healthcare collaborations
• Regulation and accreditation, currently and in the future
• More effective marketing, addressing the issues and capitalising on the opportunities
We very much encourage participative engagement – there’s the chance to listen, learn and formulate your own ideas, but also the chance to share your thinking with colleagues, to work together for better, more productive solutions.
To view the agenda and speaker list as it stands, go to
http://www.ebaoxford.co.uk/Malta_Medical_programme_06_10.html. Please note that information will be regularly updated as we confirm speakers leading up to the event itself.
Partnership and sponsorship opportunities
A wide range of cost-effective and innovative partnership and sponsorship options are available to help you make the most of an association with this well-attended and prestigious trade event. In addition to speaking engagements, exhibition stands and branded materials at the conference, we can discuss a range of promotional opportunities which will maximise your company’s engagement with our participant list.
If you’d like the chance to speak at the summit, please contact Rob Young at EBA on +44(0)1865 794362 or email rob.young@ebaoxford.co.uk. Alternatively, if you’d like to discuss our comprehensive range of sponsorship packages, or exhibition space during the summit, call +44(0)1865 251211 or email marina@ebaoxford.co.uk director@ebaoxford.co.uk.
