Business and Medicine: A contradiction?

According to the rules of internet publications (see InternetDocs!) it may be critical to do business online.....

Be carefull to find the right "separation line" so nobody willl be able to sew you for inadequate web presence of a medical doctor.

I am no laywer and no representative of a medical chamber but would like to see you aware: Let´s assume that the rules of the
AmericanMedicalAssociation and other similar groups are valid for direct WebSites of medical offices and hospitals etc.
You can check some links to these specifications at InternetDocs.

1) Eric Schendel is BusinessDoc

Brief Autobiography
Copyright © 1998-2002 by
Eric Schendel, M.D. (Reproduced with permission)

Hello! I am Eric Schendel, owner of The Lifestyle Doctor. I am a personal technology consultant and I also teach people how to successfully run a business from their home on their computer. Here is a brief summary of my background and interests.

My family moved down to Mexico when I was seven and we lived there eleven years, mostly in a little town called San Miguel de Allende. When we returned to the States we settled in Texas where I completed high school and attended college and medical school. In 1984, I fell in love with computers and what they could do to improve the practice of medicine. My first computer was a KayPro II and my second was a PC clone made by Heath, which came in a kit which had to be assembled—I even had to solder the components onto the circuit boards! Later I joined a locum tenens company (medical temporary agency) so that I could complete a Ph.D. in bioengineering with a major in computerized medical diagnostics. Now Big Planet offers me a chance to share some of my computer knowledge and my passion for technology with other people.

I live in Seattle with my wife Fionnuala and our son Keith.
Recreational interests include writing, skiing, sailing, hiking and traveling.

2) Jörg Polak is BusinessDoc

Jörg Polak is psychiatrist from Tauberbischofsheim/Germany and besides his work as doctor in the county hospital he is working as Amway representative.

He likes it to have an option to improve security for the future with another basis and not depend on medicine alone seeing many changes in the german health politics.....
Here is his e-mail to me:

Hello Wolfgang,
your activities are interesting!
My commercial experience makes it seem advantageous to bundle energy to few or better a central project. For interested people like you the Amway business is very interesting since our company has enlarged its portfolio with numerous partner companies (credit cards, cell phones, travel agency) and this gives a phantastic possibility:
I can work for a passive income which is a very good option for my pension.
Hope to meet you soon, kind regards
Ninon und Jörg Polak
