This guest post is an article written by Lisa Neal Gualtieri, published in her local paper. It’s an example of widening distribution of principles and practices documented in the e-patient white paper. I’m grateful to Lisa for sharing these true stories of patients taking matters into their own hands, sometimes in collaboration with their care providers, sometimes despite them. We’ll discuss viewpoints in the comments.–e-Patient Dave<\/em><\/p>\n

If you were a patient of Dr. Gregory House, you\u2019d be afraid to tell him you\u2019d researched your symptoms on the Internet. House, the lead character on the Fox TV show, would unceremoniously toss his stethoscope at you and proclaim that you are now a doctor as he nonchalantly walked out of his office.<\/p>\n

But in the world beyond the television screen, many physicians have come to recognize the value of their patients\u2019 use of the Internet.<\/p>\n

And, if you are like most people, you turn to the Internet for health. Eighty-four percent of adult Internet users in the U.S. go online for medical information, according to a 2007 Harris poll. Some of them, like Diana C., believe the Internet saved their life.
\n
\nThe morning after Diana woke up to find a bat in her bedroom, she noticed marks on her shoulder. When they reddened and became itchy, she searched online and identified the marks as bat bites by measuring the distance between the teeth on a life size picture of a bat and comparing that to the marks on her shoulder. She learned that a bat bite can eventually become fatal if not treated within 48 hours.<\/p>\n

After rushing to the hospital, Diana saw that the nurse washed her wounds for just 30 seconds, not the five minutes recommended. A doctor told her not to worry about the 48-hour deadline based on his knowledge of rabies in dogs. Diana realized that she knew more about bat bites than some of the professionals treating her. Only through her own vigilant efforts did she receive the care she needed.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Jason D. turned to the Internet when his son, who would cough all night, seemed fine at his medical appointments. Jason concluded his son had asthma and requested tests from his son\u2019s doctor that confirmed the diagnosis.<\/p>\n

And Saul C. is indebted to the online symptom checker that advised him to seek immediate medical attention when, several days into a cold, his leg began to swell and hurt. He did, despite his fear that the doctor would chastise him for being overweight. The doctor diagnosed and hospitalized Saul with cellulitis and told him that he was lucky he didn\u2019t wait any longer to be treated, and also told him he needed to lose weight.<\/p>\n

The Internet is no substitute for a good diagnostician, like Saul\u2019s or Dr. House. Even as a screening tool, the Internet is limited since doctors notice symptoms that you might not, order tests, and expertly consider an abundance of possible diagnoses. However, as Diana saw, doctors may have little experience with particular diseases, and, as Jason learned, a patient\u2019s symptoms may not manifest themselves in the doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The Internet offers immediacy, an advantage at night or on the weekend. It offers anonymity, which is helpful when a symptom seems too embarrassing to discuss with your doctor. It also offers more detailed information than your doctor might have time to provide.<\/p>\n

But the Internet also has erroneous information that can lead you to believe that pounds can literally melt away and cures exist for incurable diseases. A recent YouTube video that has been viewed thousands of times depicts a treatment that claims to reverse the effects of the Alzheimer\u2019s disease, for which no cure currently exists. If miracle cures existed, everyone would know about them, including your doctor.<\/p>\n

That is one of the reasons you shouldn\u2019t use the Internet in a vacuum. Another is that looking symptoms up online can be confusing \u2014 and frightening \u2014 when you lack medical expertise, since there are seemingly endless possibilities to consider.<\/p>\n

A Pew Internet and American Life study found that 18 percent of online health seekers were confused by the information they found and 10 percent felt frightened by the serious or graphic nature of the information, making it more concerning that only a third of people looking online talked with a doctor or other health professional about the information they found.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that patients are going online, the best thing to do is engage them as partners in care,\u201d said Dr. Bruce Auerbach, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society and a Lexington resident.<\/p>\n

He went on to recommend that, when you use the Internet, you \u201cuse credible, reliable sites from trusted sources including medical specialty societies, state associations, and recognized organizations such as the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association.\u201d<\/p>\n

Above all, seek professional treatment immediately if a Web site recommends it or if you aren\u2019t getting better. Talk to your doctor about what you find online, especially if you are confused or concerned. And don\u2019t worry about a scolding \u00e0 la House.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you receive a new diagnosis from your doctor, ask for Web sites where you can learn more about your condition. Chances are, you\u2019ll come away with excellent recommendations.<\/p>\n
