This is something I mention quite frequently. Here's a site whereby e-Patients can now compare notes on how to be a good e-Patient. BD The person who has the most at stake when it comes to healthcare decisions-the patient-should be involved in research, advocacy and all segments...

When I read numbers and studies such as this, it is no wonder we are lagging behind other countries in healthcare. First of all, if it is not affordable and accessible, the consumer will not go, especially in the area of chronic diseases and especially in preventative medicine. We have a...
