I love reading GeriPal. GeriPal has quickly become my favorite blog. The blog focuses on Geriatrics and Palliative Care. The contributors are Geriatricians and Palliative Care providers.
The content is outstanding and the writing is clear and crisp. They present reviews of the latest research studies, and discuss policy and clinical issues.
They don't shy away from controversy--and are not afraid to take positions--but they do so without shouting, cogently articulating their points of view.
I have found GeriPal useful for learning about the latest issues in medicine for the elderly, and for people with life threatening illnesses. I think those with more general interests will also find this blog fascinating.
