“Before we begin, John, I would like to provide a little background to readers who may not be familiar with the subjects we will cover in this interview: the use of social media in medicine, Medicine 2.0 and Health 2.0 and the e-patient movement. I am somewhat new to these subjects and as I have read around in the blogosphere and noted who tweets and blogs most eruditely and informatively on those topics I kept seeing your name. And I finally got a chance to meet you at the recent Medicine 2.0 conference where you not only chaired a session entitled, “Building Virtual Communities and Social Networking Applications For Health Professionals” you also gave a talk entitled, “Hospital Adoption of Medicine 2.0 – a Culture Shift” in a session called, “Web 2.0 Approaches for Clinical Practice, Clinical Research, Quality Monitoring”.”
