Now, I’m not complaining that Google didn’t pick me or any other healthcare blogger to be on this council.

After all, most of Google’s health ad revenue comes from the pharmaceutical industry. Google should take a leading position in the development of guidelines regarding pharma’s participation in social media, and what is acceptable and what is not

In fact, I know at least one person who fits the bill for helping Google do this.

Medical librarians have as their core mission linking people to health information. It's our profession, our skill set, and the area in which we earn advanced educations. It's what we do every single day, in support of doctors, nurses, and patients. It's shameful for Google not to recognize this. I have to agree with both you, Kevin, and Dean.

Hi Kevin,

Google missed out on an opportunity to send a message to nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals (medical librarians) that their opinions matter.

See my post at the Open Medicine blog about the insult to medical librarians.

They are merely an elaborate cover to distract from the fact that Google cares about nothing except high-priced keyword clicks.

Google Health is about profit at the expense of people who should go see a doctor instead.

So sick of these old white guys being the face of medicine. No wonder the nurses are kicking our asses with respect to getting what they feel they deserve. Google should be ashamed. What credibility do they think these guys have with people who use their product? <br/><br/>They *should* include Kevin!! You’re absolutely right.
