I never heard the term "ePatient" until recently, but it's clear that I am one so I'll speak from this perspective ....


I'm not crazy about the analogy of allergists as rock stars ... just my personal opinion.


To me, it reinforces the image that the docs are up high and patients are lower ... there is a great power and knowledge imbalance between doc & patient and this can be intimidating to a patient ... they may not feel like a "partner" in the relationship, patients may not feel that their opinions/ideas are valued by the docs ...

"Breaking a Promise"
http://improvecarenowblog.org/2015/02/12/breaking-a-promise/

Quote"I will listen more than I will speak." Because that's what patients do, right? I had the distinct feeling that I would be an intruder in a place where patients don't belong

-------------------------------------------


Truly, I have a great respect for docs, and in a way you are like rock stars, but the image I prefer is that of the HumbleGuru, walking side by side with patients ... teaching, guiding, listening, & on occasion, even learning from us (because although we don't have your education and wisdom, we often still have something of value to say).

-------------------------------------------


Also, regarding the advice to follow/RT those you want to emulate ...

this is certainly an approach that many people use and it is not "wrong" ....

but I fear this may lead to not "hearing" opinions that are different & to RTs based more on who is tweeting rather than the worthiness of the content of the tweet ...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/19/meet-the-26-year-old-whos-taking-on-thomas-pikettys-ominous-warnings-about-inequality/

QuoteThe comment blossomed into a near-unprecedented career opportunity for a student who just recently turned 26 years old, and who remains a year away from earning his doctoral degree.

QuoteRemember that Twitter can be used for many things.  In my world, Twitter is used to filter information from smart, resourceful people. For others, however, Twitter is a cocktail party or a convo tool.

Thinking Like a Statistician: Social Media and the 'Spiral of Silence'
http://simplystatistics.org/2014/12/02/thinking-like-a-statistician-social-media-and-the-spiral-of-silence/

"Q & A with KevinMD: Doctors, Patients and Social Media"
http://blogs.einstein.yu.edu/q-a-with-kevinmd-doctors-patients-and-social-media/

QuotePhenomena such as cyberbullying, "Facebook depression," sexting and exposure to inappropriate content are all issues about which pediatricians are uniquely positioned to educate patients and their families.
QuoteI speak to hundreds of doctors every year who don't yet see the value of social media in the healthcare setting.
QuotePerhaps in the coming years, when payment isn't tied to the number of patients seen, communicating with patients can be emphasized, whether it's through a phone call, email, or social media.

QuoteThe healthcare conversation is no longer a one-way narrative but is evolving into a global, participatory discussion.
QuoteThe role Twitter plays in breaking down patient/provider barriers, disseminating and expanding the reach of healthcare information, widening social networks and co-creating a collaborative model of shared health information is for me one of the most exciting developments in social media.

QuoteLisa was pulled onto the national stage in January 2014 when Emma Keller, then a contributor to the Guardian, and Keller's husband Bill, then an op-ed writer at the New York Times, wrote a pair of bruising columns about her. Emma criticized Adams for oversharing, and Bill suggested she give up non-palliative treatments. Their harsh treatments created an uproar, and also highlighted sensitive issues relevant to detailing health information on the Internet, medical journalism and goals of cancer care.

QuoteI believe that ineffective communication is at the heart of many issues today, including some of healthcare's major pain points, such as patient engagement, health literacy and physician effectiveness.
QuoteObservable on social media is people's context and perspective, their priorities, interests and reasons for engaging in their health (or not). Likewise patients' unmet needs, tips about better ways to communicate with them, and insight into how great the burden of chronic lifelong disease is on patients and their families are all laid out vividly on social media, especially in the healthcare Twitterverse.

QuoteIn fact, we are getting shortchanged twice: first, when we surrender our data – eventually, it ends up on Google's balance sheet – in exchange for relatively trivial services, and, second, when that data is then later used to customise and structure our world in a way that is neither transparent nor desirable.

QuoteIt's no secret that people on the Internet can be mean. That's an unfortunate fact of online culture: when you give people anonymity, they often feel free to say whatever they want with no regard for how it may affect others. After all, when you're just typing words into a machine, it's easy to forget that there are real people reading those words on the other side of the screen.
