One thing that medbloggers warn each other about is to remember that there's no such thing as anonymity on the internet. The most famous case was Flea, a doctor who blogged about his medical malpractice trial, which was ultimately his downfall; there's also the looming concern that you could be accused of violating HIPAA if you're not careful.
Ann Althouse, a lawprof blogger who has always blogged under her own name (and who took the picture my icon comes from), discusses her thoughts on the matter here. She's actually a lot more sympathetic than i'd expected, considering she's been fairly open about the fact that she doesn't really believe in pseudonymous blogging.
