Thanks for the contact and the link. The link was interesting. To your excellent point about scheduling an appointment for long messages .. the world is moving toward people wanting things now in many aspects of our lives. It would be interesting to see a link to the effect of "What patients wish MDs/heath care professionals knew about us using the portals". That may sound sarcastic and if so that is not intended.

That doesn't sound sarcastic to me. I believe doctors and other healthcare providers SHOULD be made aware of and understand the patients' experiences (both good and bad) in using the portal. The portals seem to be geared more towards the providers' needs, but patients' needs should also be considered when designing them. There needs to be a happy medium that's useful to both.
