On Publishing Information and Entertainment
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA
[Publisher-in-Chief]
As avid blogger Darrell K. Pruitt DDS recently noted, this past quarter brought in a large number of monthly hits, readers and subscribers to the ME-P; and we are grateful. The traffic boost was mainly due to interest in eMRs and the financial essays of Somnath Basu PhD, especially during current political turmoil in Washington, DC involving both sectors simultaneously. The common element was the provocation of diverse opinions.
Audience Centric Philosophy
Through a focused attention on our target audience, we’ve come to understand that information and entertainment are inseparable in all but a theoretical sense.
For example, you’re reading this sentence because it entertains or interests you. That it is also informative may be a reason why it interests you, but entertainment and information are nevertheless inexorably linked.
A sure way to entertain is to be provocative. Apparently some people really like to debate the value of eMRs, healthcare reform and the financial services industry. And, we appreciate multiple links from prominent bloggers, essays and journalists, too. Don’t misunderstand. We do not publish for the sake of provocation and we do lightly self-censor. But, we publish to advance our own thinking and understanding. That we also entertain and invite debate is an additional benefit.
Self Motivation Mission to Inform
Our posts and comments are motivated to correct the record and to infuse an unbiased debate over both healthcare and financial reform with the best evidence available. In the process, we learn much. Hence, though we may entertain, we are motivated by a desire to inform and “bridge the gap between medical mission and profit margin” in the Health 2.0 era.
Assessment
We’d even go so far as to say that anyone who does not agree is attempting to fool you with clever theory that belies the practical truth. According to Austin Frakt PhD, of the Incidental Economist, if you fall for it … that only proves our point!

The problem with this country is BOTH the Democrats and Republicans.
Anyone who seriously thinks that one side isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t done an adequate job of paying attention.
To the Republicans: The GW administration will go down in history as one of the worst administrations. They eroded your constitutional rights, expanded the power of the wealthy elite, invaded countries under false pretenses, destroyed diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, and spent money like it was going out of style.
To the Democrats: Obama is a dud. He promised much and has turned out to be another corporate lackey. He made deals with big pharma to ensure you could not get your medication cheaper elsewhere, he flip flopped on military tribunals, he refuses to fix health care properly through nationalization or single payer, he populates his inner circle with more Wall Street insiders, he spends money on bailouts and useless stimulus packages.
