American Medical News — the weekly newspaper for which I do reporting on medical ethics, health care quality and patient safety — is still behind a password-protected firewall. However, the Web site has gone to a Salon-like model where the reader can see the first few paragraphs of a story for free, before being prompted to login or pay up.

So I’ve decided to post links to those stories over on my journalism page. If nothing else, these teasers should give you a flavor for the kind of work I’m doing. For example, my most recently published articles focus on what the November elections mean for stem-cell research funding and how hospitals are moving toward more permissive policies on cell phone use.
