The Patient Portal—Help or Hindrance?

When my daughters were small and ill, you would find me in the lowest level of my local library going through medical encyclopedias. Huge books, small print an area not well lit. Obviously pre-computer. You need to be proactive with your health and it's so much easier now. This site is a blessing and you don't feel as alone as I did back in the library basement!

I've done the same thing. Back in the days that is all we had. Library medical books that were not up to date. Technology has come a long way and we are better off for it. We now are active participants in our own health. Gone are the days when the doctors would say "oh, your number are a little off!". Well, I like to see for myself what my numbers are. Also I am big on second opinions. So having the report is very helpful.
