From 2000 - 2004 I wrote, coded and ran a patient education website (including two newsletters) which is now defunct; a sample through Wayback, for those interested. During the same time I was health editor for Full Circle Success, an online subscription business website which is also defunct.
I also have numerous patient education articles circulating the Internet, as well as a patient education brochure, "Talk to Doctors so They Will Listen!", which I sold online for several years.
For a while I wrote for eHow, until they were bought out by Demand Studios. I also have writing gigs on Fiverr from time to time.
I also blog:
