2009 Australian Medical Blog Awards – Vote 1 prn penguin!

Voting for the 2009 Australian Medical Blog Awards is now open over at Apple Quack. You can vote for your favourite Australian medical blog here.

I have been privileged to be nominated in the short-list of 5 finalists which are:

Aequanimitas – A doctor’s blog about emergency medicine, toxicology & intensive care
Degranualted – A pharmacist who is also a medical student
Life in the Fast Lane – A Western Australian ED doc with a passion for medical education & informatics
prn penguin (me) – An ICU nurse who believes that you should always have a penguin when needed
Vagus Surgicalis – A Melbourne medical student

So check out the competition, and head over to here to cast your vote.

As I couldn’t vote either of my favourite Australian medical blogs (ImpactED Nurse & The Dragonfly Initiative), and because I thought it poor form to vote for myself, my vote went to Aequanimitas. If the videos about homeopathy don’t tickle your fancy, maybe this will.

Remember that, unlike in the United States, voting is compulsory in Australia. So go and exercise your democratic blog reading rights and vote before the polls close on 20 February 2009.
