Top 10 Medical Tweeters

Last year @DrVes set up a spreadsheet of top tweeting doctors. The list is populated with over 50 tweeting physicians from a wide range of specialities from allergists through to surgeons. This list is great for existing users of twitter to connect with the top tweeting physicians of a particularly speciality, but also for twitter newbies who are looking for some interesting people to follow.

To make it easier for the new tweeter I decided that I should do up a post on the Top 10 Medical Tweeters. Of course, realising that as a medical student I should be careful not to go round stepping on any toes, or accidently not selecting a highly accomplished physician in this particular list, I resorted to using Klout to develop my top ten.

Klout is a standard for determing your online influence via twitter.

So here are the physician's that Klout says (and possibly myself) have the greatest influence and are a must to follow.

Feeling that Australia missed out on it's chance to feature in the Top Ten, I decided to add a special number 11. Technically he's an import, but Australia will claim him as our own this time round.
