Does social media affect the way doctors take care of their patients?

Absolutely! Don't forget to put your orders in for meds! Too much time thinking about yourself and your online persona may lead to less attention to your patients. Does your doctor tweet? Maybe he needs to do less self promotion and more health promotion.

Did you seriously ask a question in the thread title, and then answer it in the first thread?? Wow!! You are priceless!!
 








More self promotion. Blah blah. Blah. Put your med orders in. At least your finally saying something outside "working" hours. You're protege (another self promoter) in the other hand has been quiet.
 




It is an interesting question if you include the numerous medical web boards that spinal/neuro patients frequent for info. and friendship with others who comprehend their problems. The majority of the info is solid. If it isn't, someone calls the author on it. Drs. are finding their patients far more educated relative to their issues and options. They are far more demanding and should be. They are fed up with the shot jocks who take over all of their meds. and won't write script unless they come in for their monthly
"treatment". They go from "treatment" to : "treatment" until the ins. provider puts the brakes on. The patient is left high and dry. The script boys will write you a half dozen different meds and cross his fingers. By the time they meet the device dude, they can be pretty negative. Today's physician that treats pain better know his stuff and have a big bag of tricks because today's pain patient demands a reasonable reduction in pain and/or suffering or a damn good reason why it isn't happening. We won't discuss the slice and dice boys.
