Doctor's orders: Use your iPod

A little while ago, we pointed to some research conducted by doctor Michael Barrett in which he was able to improve the diagnostic skills of his medical students by having them listen to audio of various heart conditions on their iPods.

Today, Click On Detroit has an article about cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Grayson Wheatley, who is actually giving patients video iPods with information on health, fitness and heart health. Videos of certain procedures, like bypass surgery, are also included. Already have a video iPod? You can subscribe to the Dr.'s podcast here.
