Instead of using the label cybermedicine, I recommend the term medinfonautics. Cyber and Tele will soon mean the same thing since digital convergance is occurring. I can really relate to this article. My sister has swollen ventricles in her head that is causing constant headache(s) and numbness in her face and her doctors haven't been able to diagnos it yet. So I am researching it myself. I guess "two heads are better than one." Joel Lutes

Dear Sir, I read the article,"Shopping around the internet today and tomorrow: towards the millennium of cybermedicine" with interest. A current factor of online medicine today is the differing opinions & guidelines between medical practice in the UK & overseas. It can also be difficult to find quality medical sites with traditional search engines, especially for those seeking UK-specific information. In response to this, Medic8.com has been established & is available online. Medic8.com is a medical portal for UK health professionals on the internet, offering a directory of peer-reviewed medical resources online. UK & Worldwide resources can be found easily, being grouped by specialty & by subject, with UK sites clearly identified.

Cyber medicine helps a doctor to do away with the intense interrogation by patients before and after treatment. Some sensible physician may simplify the medical treatment by informing the patients of its trade secret. The following could be it. We doctors unfailingly assume that the diseases are due to infection for which antibiotics are necessary. The antibiotics do not have either target specificity or microorganism specificity. Since the practice among the physicians now is using broad-spectrum antibiotics, self-treatment or physician assisted treatment it does not matter! Next, painkillers and fever medicines could be taken whenever necessary for which physician's consultation is a waste of time and money. Next, when there is inflammation, swelling and pain any anti- inflammatory drug is of benefit since these drugs are not prescribed based on individual's specificity. Next if there is allergy the patients may be informed of a few symptoms and a few anti histamine drugs that every patient knows by this time. And finally, a vitamin supplement. Thus cyber medicine may cater to suffering individual's evidence based medicine in the early stages of the disease or any ordinary day-to- day problems. |
