This was a week ago the Blogworld Expo, the World largest Conference on Blogging in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Would have liked to join those famous bloggers. As Laikas put it:
I’m blogging in my spare time and although it has many spin-offs for my work, I would never have the resources and the time to go there. So, it was with a little jealousy and envy that I followed all those cheerful tweets from my colleague medbloggers.
She wrote a post with a lot of videos and links to pictures, interviews and impressions of this important BlogWorld Expo [SOTB].
Man in de Zorg has some video’s of planes taking of from airports. Flights from his vacations. This one above is from his vacation in 2008. It gives a nice overview of The Netherlands, flat and crowded.

At Laika’s MedLibLog a description of the submissions to the Dutch Grand Round and here own choice from blogs form the Dutch medical blogosphere. By the way most Dutch bloggers in the medical blogosphere blog in English, Laika certainly does.
But those issues can be better addressed by persons in the field. I just simply want to restrict to “changing care in a very specific area, adrenal diseases, simply because I’m a hands-on expert, having secondary Addison’s Disease (Sheehan’s syndrome)”.

The Seven Ages of Man speech is delivered by Jacques in As You Like It.
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
