Tips To Create The Best Custom Blogs For Medical Practice

A decade ago, blogging was mainly used by political pundits and online daily writers. But, now is a need for every business. 

If you run a healthcare company and want to establish a strong online presence, you must optimize your medical website to search engines find you. One of the major "musts" of healthcare digital marketing is blogging. 

Blogging has grown in popularity as a way for doctors to share their knowledge, improve relationships with their patients, and network online. Many people use blogging to resist the onslaught of medical misinformation available online.

In recent years, custom blogs for medical practice have gained much popularity and proved to be very fruitful for showcasing your online presence. Let’s see how best blogs can be created.

Why blogging is important

In today's busier-than-ever healthcare climate, many doctors don't have time to write blog entries on top of managing patient appointments and promoting their offices. What they may not realize, however, is that doctors who blog have distinct benefits over those who do not. 

Best medical practice blogs boost your medical SEO by establishing you as an industry authority and encouraging search engines to crawl your site more frequently. 

Here are four essential guidelines to assist new bloggers in getting started and veteran bloggers in sharpening their craft in establishing a successful custom healthcare blog 

Identify whom you want to reach out to

When you set down to write a medical blog, you should first figure out who your core audience is. Consider who you'll be speaking to (the general public, patients, doctors, or decision-makers), what kind of people would be interested in reading your medical blogs, and other essential factors such as their age, education level, and health condition. 

You'll usually target current and prospective patients with a healthcare blog. Understanding your audience's demographics might help you shape the key aspects of your blog depending on their specific interests.

For example, if you're writing a blog on post-graduate medical training, you can assume that doctors will know what "residency" means, but you can't make that assumption if you're writing for the general public. The approach to writing that should be taken may be determined by the target audience. Patients are typically more interested in how your blog relates to their care than decision-makers are in blogs that focus on cost and other policy problems.

      2. Hook your readers

Fine-tune your topics when coming up with blog ideas. Rather than creating a generic healthcare article, focus on a specific health problem, news event, or trend. 

You must hook your readers from the first sentence if you want to stand out. Making a bold or controversial statement right at the start is a powerful tactic for attracting your audience's attention. 

If you can pique the reader's attention in the first two to three lines, there's a far better chance they'll stick around to read the rest of the blog.

      3. Avoid medical language

Best medical practice blogs have a clear language that is easy for everyone to understand. 

Blogs aren't the place to show off your lexical prowess or your command of acronyms. Never say anything that could be said in two short phrases in one big statement. 

If your blog post gets loaded with too complex and long sentences, people may not take the time to read the rest of it. 

Readers spend only 2 minutes on average reading a blog post. As a result, the material of your blog should be simple to understand for viewers. Make sure to proofread or avoid using complex language or medical jargon.

      4. Blog should incorporate Keywords

Add a few SEO keywords and phrases that are relevant to your business. For example, if you're writing about dental braces, include terms like orthodontics and recommendations on how to straighten your teeth. 

Furthermore, your company may serve a single or numerous geographic locations. Include your location and any surrounding sites of interest in some of the company blogs.

To Conclude:

When you first begin writing a blog, attempt to maintain precision focus. It's all too easy to cram everything you know about a topic into a single blog post. However, the end product will be either perplexing or uninteresting. 

If you're just getting started with blogging, mastering the strategies listed above is a wonderful place to begin your journey towards creating custom blogs for medical practice. As you get more experienced, you'll be able to tell when you can break the rules and when you can't.

Living With Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

In 2017 I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Type 3 (also called Benign Hypermobility Syndrome). "Benign" seems like the wrong word to use for what I have, because it has completely turned my life upside down.

Ever since I was a child I was extremely flexible, hypermobile, "bendy." As a young cheerleader and dancer, one of my "tricks" was that I could lay on the ground on my belly and touch my toes to my forehead from behind. I was like a circus performer. My mother knew that there was something wrong, but the doctors simply told her that I had a "lax ligament disorder." I was always getting injured, sprains and strains and unexplainable bruising. We had a set of crutches in our house that were adjustable because I was using them so frequently.

As I got older, my injuries became more severe, and my flexibility decreased. I began to have extremely weak wrists, making it impossible for me to be an effective base in cheerleading. I was never able to do cartwheels because my wrists couldn't support my weight without collapsing. In the winter I started to get joint pain so severe that I would cry. My hands would swell and turn bright red. My mother gave me my first Vicodin at 13 to try and decrease my pain.

However, the joint pain was pretty much the extent of my issues up until my mid-20s, so I consider myself relatively lucky. I was with my high school sweetheart until I was 25. I was by far not the same person that he fell in love with when we were 16. I was not only struggling with chronic pain, I was also in the middle of battling bipolar disorder and severe anxiety. His support quickly started to wane, and I felt its effects. We broke up early 2017.

From 2013-2017 I was being treated aggressively by a rheumatologist for what they believed was Rheumatoid Arthritis. I had been on countless medications, injectable chemotherapy drugs as well as an IV infusion of low-dose chemo every 6 weeks. I was SICK. Finally in about March, I was seeing a new rheumatologist who took over the practice and he was going through my chart and said "I don't think you have RA at all."

I'm thinking to myself, "Seriously? What else could it be?" He performed what is called a Beighton Scale Assessment in his office and I scored 8 out of 9, indicative of EDS. He immediately stopped all the RA meds I was on and sent out a request to my primary for a referral to genetics, who I saw in August of 2017.

So fast forward, I've been diagnosed at Brigham and Women's Hospital with EDS Type 3. At this point I have done quite a bit of research and everything made soooo much sense. At this point, these are the symptoms I'd had that were related:

- Soft, velvety skin that bruises easily - Hypermobile joints - Frequent subluxations of the joints - Delayed walking as a baby - Frequent ligament and tendon injuries

Between then and now I have seen a cardiologist, neurologist, and gastroenterologist (that's a whole story in itself). I've been told that I will likely require specialist care for the remainder of my life.

I have been extremely lucky to have the support system I have. My mother is my biggest advocate, and I am now in a relationship with a man who not only supports me, but understands what I'm going through (he's a two-time survivor of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma). He doesn't find my issues gross or annoying, and he's actually fascinated by my condition and wants to know more. He even found out that his step-sister ALSO has EDS, which blew his mind. He's affectionate and loving, checks in with me regularly, and doesn't treat me as though I'm made of glass (that took some convincing). My dad took a while to come to terms that this is a condition I will have forever. When I'm having an acute problem, though, he just sees that I'm sick. He doesn't see that this is a chronic problem and that I have to learn to live with it.

I'm hoping that this blog will help fellow EDSers realize that they aren't alone. I want to educate others and help people advocate for themselves. I will hopefully be writing a book someday on my experience. For now, this blog will be my space for EDS information, humor, and my life experiences. Maybe medical professionals will come across my blog and become more aware that this is an illness that is highly under-diagnosed.

Two pairs of scrubs and two stethoscopes into medicine and I am so exhausted !

I’m enjoying the benefits that come with being a medical student but the work load is a lot to deal with !! Oh my goodness . I was never ready ...

I mean it’s my third block in, but wow it’s taking a lot of effort on my part to keep up with all the work I’ve got to do . Discipline is a huge issue, especially because I’m always tired.

I still have hope that my passion will pull me through. I’ve always wanted to be a doctor and I am well on my way to becoming one. I’ve come too far to give up and I just need to keep it going, keep it flowing, like the water !!!

Light always overcomes darkness . So I leave this to the universe and say :

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. “

I’d found it, my life long career; performing autopsies. The trouble was, I’d never seen a dead body so I didn’t know how I would react. Of course I’d seen them in true crime documentaries but it’s nothing like seeing it in person and of course you can’t smell anything through a screen. I had the same words go through my head that I’ve heard countless times on tv shows, “once you see it you can’t un-see it”. Will it effect me as much as these people say it will? Will it forever change me? The only way I would ever know was to just go and do it, I mean, I couldn’t just end this all right now. 

I started enquiring at mortuaries to see if they had any suitable positions available. I was mostly faced with grumpy managers who wouldn’t even give me the time of day. I had gone down my whole list of phone numbers and had given up hope, there was one left. I had already assumed it would be a no so I didn’t give it much hope, but I called anyway. It started off as they all had done, the other party being quite on guard and me being happy and cheerful, and by the end of the call he wanted me to come down to meet him the same afternoon. 

I was excited yet extremely anxious. I was going for a sort of interview with only 2 hours notice, what do I even wear to a mortuary? And then it dawned on me, I might see a dead body today and I didn’t know what to think. Obviously, this is the major point in this career and if I freak out or puke then all this has meant nothing. If I can’t handle seeing somebody dead then this definitely isn’t the right career for me, and I’m back at square one. 

We talked for two hours about everything and anything. I think he was just trying to gauge my character as at this moment in time he didn’t have a job for me but there might be one in the future. As I assumed, he asked why. I gave him my honest answer “I love anatomy and I think the human body is beautiful” and that seemed to appease him. He then asked the big question, “have I ever seen a dead body before?”, and I truthfully told him no. He and I knew exactly what that meant, I’m trying to get into this industry without even having experienced the main focus. 

He stood up and asked me to follow him. I knew exactly what was going to happen. This was it, the first time I will ever see a dead body, a corpse, a cadaver, and all my past thoughts were going through my head. What if I do freak out and make a complete idiot of myself, making our 2 hour conversation irrelevant. 

It was the complete opposite. When I first stepped into the post mortem room I stopped in my tracks to take it all in, it was so strange. Quiet and peaceful yet odd and unnerving. We are so used to seeing people moving, with colour in their skin, but these people were stiff and pale. It takes a minute for your mind to comprehend what you’re seeing, it’s just not used to it. These people weren’t just lying there either, they were in the middle of having an autopsy. Abdomens open and brains out.

After the initial shock wore off, I became excited and so fascinated by the scene that was in front of me, I wanted to go over and see everything in more detail. I started to smile and the man that lead me there knew instantly this was right for me. I guess most peoples reaction to seeing someones empty skull isn’t to want to go over and get a closer look. But this was mine.
