Chapter 5 of the e-Patient White Paper is E-Patients as Medical Researchers.<\/a> It details how, in the absence of sufficient medical data for their cases, patients and parents have conducted extraordinary research, time after time, often stunning the medical professionals.<\/p>\n

A key sentence in Chapter 5 is “One of the great benefits of patient-initiated research is its speed.” <\/strong>It’s spoken by Norman Scherzer, who was mentioned in our April 3 post A wonderful story of participatory medicine<\/a>, and describes how when the medical industry falls short, e-patients can step in and gather vitally important data.<\/p>\n

Here is another live example:<\/strong>
\n
\nThis survey and appeal are authored by Judy Feder, an e-patient who was a guest author here in March:<\/p>\n

Following my amazing experience with Her2 testing and Herceptin, as chronicled in my guest post Patient Community Knowledge Saves a Life<\/strong><\/a>, I\u2019ve been motivated and encouraged to take patient power into our own hands and create a registry of other patients who may have experienced the test I had. <\/p>\n

The timing is exquisite, because the Journal of Clinical Oncology<\/b> in its wisdom JUST published a review of all the literature on Her2 serum testing and concluded there is \u201cinsufficient evidence\u201d for its use<\/b> in \u201croutine management.\u201d (Just the kind of words to get an e-patient all fired up.) <\/p>\n

They want data? Let’s give it to them!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve created an online survey, and would love to get it distributed virally through the breast cancer community.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Breast cancer patients, please take Judy’s survey (click here)<\/b><\/a>. And cross-post this freely on other blogs!<\/p>\n
