Patients for a Moment

patientforamoment1

Welcome to the archive and calendar for Patients for a Moment – the blog carnival for/by/about patients. If you are interested in submitting posts to PFAM, see below for instructions and read through a few of the editions to get a sense for what works. If you’re interested in hosting, email dx@duncancross.net ; it will help if you have participated in at least one previous edition.

Submitting to PFAM:

Your post can be on any topic, issue, disease, whatever – so long as it is likely to appeal even to patients who don’t share your specific circumstances. You can be a patient, doc, nurse, wonk – whatever. It can be the same post you sent to Grand Rounds or any other carnival. No advertising or appeals for money will be accepted.*

Send to the host (you can get their email address from their blogs):

1. Your name (as it should appear)
2. Your blog’s name
3. Your post’s title
4. Your post’s URL

Submissions should be sent in by the end of the day on the Sunday before the edition is to be published.

(*We recognize that some patients use their blogs to raise money for their care, which is fine – so long as the submission itself is not a direct appeal for money.)
