Parents, doctors, stockbrokers, even military
leaders are starting to lose the authority they
once had. There are all these roles premised on
access to privileged information. What we are
witnessing is a collapse of that advantage,
prestige and authority.Michael Lewis, next

Reuters (12.11.01) Teens and young adults are
flocking to the Web for health-related

A seismic shift is underway in healthcare. The
Internet is delivering vast knowledge and new

Medical care has traditionally followed a
professional model, based on two assumptions
that patients are unable to become sufficiently
informed about their own care to allow them a
pivotal role, and that medical judgments are
based on science.Joseph Blumstein, Vanderbilt

He shook me up. He put his hand on my shoulder,
and simply said, Old friend, you have got to
take charge of your own medical care.

Jordans cancer diagnosis)

It may be the most far-reaching evolution of
them all the metamorphosis of passive patient
into consumer and well-informed, assertive
consumer at that. The defining axiom of
traditional medicine doctors orders is being
turned on its head. These days its the patients
who are armed, the doctors who must get wired to
keep nimble. E-health is the new house
call.Richard Firstman, Heal Thyself, On

Geography Is DestinyOften all one must do to
acquire a disease is to enter a country where a
disease is recognizedleaving the country will
either cure the malady or turn it into something
else. Blood pressure considered treatably high
in the United States might be considered normal
in England and the low blood pressure treated
with 85 drugs as well as hydrotherapy and spa
treatments in Germany would entitle its sufferer
to lower life insurance rates in the United
States. Lynn Payer, Medicine Culture
48
Practice variation is not caused by bad or
ignorant doctors. Rather, it is a natural
consequence of a system that systematically
tracks neither its processes nor its outcomes,
preferring to presume that good facilities, good
intentions and good training lead automatically
to good results. Providers remain more
comfortable with the habits of a guild, where
each craftsman trusts his fellows, than with the
demands of the information age.Michael
