Social Diagnosis? – Fun Friday

It’s Friday as we start to head into the holiday season. A lot of fun and a lot of stress. What an interesting juxtaposition when it comes to your health, no? The good news is that I’m back again with some Fun Friday humor for you. When I saw this cartoon, I loved it immediately:

What’s interesting is that there is so much potential for collaborating with other doctors around challenging diagnosis. I first realized some of the opportunities there when I learned some of what Health Tap is doing.

It’s still a little bit of a wild west for many, but the fact that a patient or doctor can go online and get help with challenging healthcare situations is a very good thing. Technology will continue to enable this. I just hope it’s not quite as depicted in this cartoon.
