CrowdPulse: Are you communicating with your doctor via email?

We’re all busy and sadly at times our health pays the price. Have you ever put off contacting your doctor because of the hassle involved in actually reaching your doctor? Could email help solve this problem?

I recently ran across a blog post discussing just this
issue and it prompted me to run a quick CrowdPulse
survey.

We asked people who visited our site if they
would be comfortable communicating with their
family doctor via email.

Here’ s what the told us.

The article I mentioned, Using E-mail to Communicate With Your Doctor, does a nice job of covering the topic. It highlights the benefits that could be gained from using email to talk with your doctor and offers a brief physician perspective (this is an area that could benefit from more research). However the best part of the article is the guidelines it provides – helpful direction that supports the effective use of email with your doctor.

What do you think, would you communicate with your doctor via email?
