The traditional form of attaining medical expertise has known to be not only expensive but time consuming. We go to a doctor’s office and wait for some time so that we can get a doctor to look inside our ear and tell us that there’s nothing wrong with us. We’ve all made this trip before and there is many times where we feel it was quite useless. Thanks to the internet however, we are seeing a change come to this industry. Soon enough the days of seeking medical expertise through methods like sitting in a doctor’s office and waiting all day will be over. Instead technology will bring us closer in a very convenient way.

Imagine the day when you know of a doctor that gets paid by the government to sit on a computer. He isn’t useless don’t worry, he’s actually much more useful than most doctors. This man will sit here and answer live tweets asking about medical problems on twitter, or some other website. We are already seeing a degree of this occurring on the internet and it is expected to only get larger. There are of course a large list of ailments that must be checked on through actual physical appearances and can’t be solved by a simple text question.

Consider the ones where x-rays are needed or they have to look inside your throat and under your tongue, and also ask you to say something a specific way. Ok, maybe a bit exaggerated but you get the point; there are things that can’t just be asked in a text question but rather need a physical doctor and patient to be in the same room. For a great majority of problems however, one can simply find out the answer by looking it up online or tweeting a doctor. With this new way of technology people will be allowed to get their diagnosis in much faster time at a lesser cost.

Technology is also allowing for us to have people store their medical records online so that doctors can access it when talking to a patient. The idea is that with a broader understanding of the patient’s history of medical problems the doctor can answer the question even faster. Many patients are showing positive support to this new system of technology where it is being tested and it is expected to only get bigger in the future. Thank you technology!
