“If you are sick, one way to get better care is to consult the internet.
Not by typing your symptoms into Google for self-diagnosis, but by tapping into social networks to find the best doctor and health care facility. Researching symptoms online can make you feel like you are doing due diligence, but your time is far better spent finding a person who has the education and training to properly diagnose your illness and provide you with the best care for your condition.
Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin are perfectly suited for doing this type of research because they are based on relationships, reputation and trust.”
