The MedBlog Power 8 is a list of medical blogs that have had an exceptional week of blogging, based purely on my subjective measures. Factors I consider are how provocative the posts are, the amount of discussion it generates, and posting frequency.

The list is revised mid-week and will be published every 1-2 days on Kevin, M.D. If you want me to consider your exceptional week of blogging, you can contact me.
