dont worry Hendo

After a bombardment of emails about the new GPTV from the boys at Genesis Ed, and eventually sorting out the software, I had a good look yesterday. Hate to be one to throw stones at a competitor, and such a nice guy as Dr Michael Johnston, but rivetting stuff it ain't, except perhaps for the GPTV survey of how often GPs want to be updated with news. The very serious Dr Johnson tells us a 'staggering 52% of GPs want their news three times a week'. No details about the number of respondents to the survey, nor acknowledgement that an online survey might just skew the sample a little, but it's bad news for the weeklies, Medical Observer and Australian Doctor, according to Dr Johnson, who interestingly had nothing but a copy of AusDoc on his desk in the previous segment.
If GPs really want 'news' so often, I guess it's all good news for 6 minutes, but I actually dont believe it.
Perhaps we can do our own less than credible survey of 6 minute readers. What is it that GPs want so often that they're not getting elsewhere?
If it's news, why not read the papers? And do you really need to find out about the latest randomised controlled trial on clopidogrel before lunch?
Let us know and we'll try to oblige.
