i'm susan hunt join me for my health counts e-patients as advances in
technology in the internet bring us closer to information and each other
a new world a participatory medicine is evolving in which network patients are
shifting from mere passengers too responsible drivers at their health
my doctor referred me to a patient community
and in the first two hours after i posted a message there
i got just a ton of useful information
i come home from the doctor's office and maybe a week later my wife will ask me
did you do this and what did he say about that and i ca literally go
outline and say yeah that's what we talked about here is some answers
the medical field is undergoing all this transformation and it's important for
us as patients not just to sit back and wait
but to get involved
my appeal is let patients' help
today these e-patients are empowered engaged
equipped and enabled
