- Online social networking brings further change to doctor-patient relationships
A new generation of healthcare Web sites is connecting patients to each other, allowing them to share information and advice on virtually any medical condition. (Organizedwisdom.com is used as an example of this type of site.)
I'm Dr. Joshua Schwimmer, a nephrologist and internal medicine physician in New York City. • Kidney Notes was the first active nephrology blog. (Trivia: Kidney Notes is so old that the National Library of Medicine still uses it as an example of how to formally cite blogs.) • Professionally, you can find me at Kidney.nyc. • Kidney Notes is for educational purposes only, not medical advice. Consult qualified health care professionals. See disclaimer.
