Eprognosis gets Half a Million Hits in the First Week | GeriPal - Geriatrics and Palliative Care Blog

Eprognosis is barely a week old, and we've already had over 500,000 pageviews (150,000 unique visitors).  For perspective, GeriPal is about 3 years old, and in that time we've had 400,000 pageviews.  We've had loads of press, including 6 stories in the New York Times about prognosis and eprognosis (Stories by Paula Span here, here, here, here, and here.  Story by Pauline Chen in today's paper here.  For a more complete list of media stories, see the eprognosis "About" page here.  Unexpectedly, about a quarter of our hits have come from Turkey, due to this news story.)

All this attention prompted my six year old son to say, wistfully, "I remember before daddy was famous" --  as if our lives have changed dramatically, and the paparazzi are chasing us down!

But seriously...what does all this mean?
