Even if your blog is very important to you, there are certain times you would want to take a break from blogging about what you usually blog about.
One of those times might be, say, you're a doctor involved in a malpractice lawsuit.
Or, if you keep blogging, you might not want to talk about the case as it's going on.
Or reveal your defense strategy.
Or make fun of the plantiff's lawyer.
Even if you do blog about under a pen name.
Because, as the case of Dr. Robert P. Lindeman shows, the plantiff's lawyer might find your blog (which was apparently here, though it's been erased), put two and two together, and basically force you to settle out of court, else they "...share Lindeman's blog -- containing his unvarnished views of lawyers, jurors, and the legal process -- with the jury."
I'm just saying.
(Oh, and did you know that in medical slang, a "flea" is what a surgeon calls a pediatrician-in-training? I didn't.)

I think the doctor got a bit full of himself.
Without reading the medical charts I cannot say if he was guilty or not but the blog did do hiim in. -
Very Good Advise............
Thank you for sharing. -
In the casino industry, "fleas" are the people who walk around the casino floor trying to find coins.
