The Patient Portal—Help or Hindrance?

Because I’m familiar with medicine I can usually understand what I read but sometimes I have to get my husband to interpret as he’s a physician. I freaked once on the drs verbiage he chose to use on a ct scan. Ultimately I get my hubby to read results in case it’s bad because I freak out if it is. Overall access to internet and portals have probably caused more harm than good. Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss!!

Mostly a blessing I think, I have found the portals very useful. The trick is to NOT try to interpret those results just because you can read English 😊. Curious to know what your MD husband thinks of the same question.
