The overall impression I have with this article is that the author
feels blogs are putting journalists under a very powerful
microscope and she doesn't like it.


I can't help but wonder if this is why the medical field is so
slow to adopt more technology for patient management/records...
I'd guess bumbling doctors don't want even better patient documentation
and good docs just don't want to be bothered with the investment of
time/energy to get up to speed.

I think you are right. No one is 100% perfect in their job performance. Everyone makes mistakes. Most are small, even trivial, but so can be serious. When the public demands 100% perfect performace, the stress is too great for most people, especially if they are held accountable for any deviation, regardless of degree, from 100% perfection. Bloggers are doing it to journalists and the trial lawyer and patients are demanding it of doctors. The bar that is being set is idealistic and unattainable.
