The Internet and the Future of Patient Care

So far I have learned some new facts about the internet and healthcare.  According to Susannah Fox in the "Power of Mobile" most people respond to text messages in 3 minutes which is allowing Technology to initate the reponse to communicate faster than we have in the past.  These days if a patient wants to see what a procedure is and how it is done they can go on Youtube.  Physicians are using Youtube as a source of advertising to acquire new clients.  I think that is definately allowing patients to be able to prepare questions when they go for a consulation.
