Well, actually, it isn’t so much that he’s gone “corporate,” its that he uses his blog as an ad revenue generator, dilberatly ginning up controversy to inflate his comment clickthroughs and ad views.

He even admits it and claims to have noted it in this very post!

“I have also said in the past that posts are purposely presented in a polarizing manner to generate discussion:

But as a doctor-blogger addressing specific circumstances that SCREAM for public attention . . . and having turned to blogging to try and get it . . . since the local MSM (not to mention the AMA and “establishment medicine”) appears determined to blow it all off . . . it seems to me that Kevin has “gone corporate”.

As Kevin says, the public has NO IDEA what is going on behind the scenes – and I heartily agree – mostly because they are NOT BEING TOLD. Kevin talks about pulling the curtain back.

But if he were really interested in doing that, my blog would be on his roll . . . and he would be asking the MSM (paying him all the attention) . . . HOW IN THE $%#@ DID THIS HAPPEN TO A PHYSICIAN IN PUBLIC SERVICE WHO DID THE RIGHT THING . . . AND WHY ISN’T ANYONE IN GOVERNMENT/LEGAL/MEDICAL “OVERSIGHT” HELPING HER OUT?
