Ray, my neuro also does email; his hospital is set up with a very user-friendly, effective system for online communication. It is great to know that I can contact him and I will hear back. I also find that having the email option makes me more likely to follow through with things we talked about. The system is good at promoting and supporting follow through, which is sadly lacking in the types of visits described by John. Does anyone else have thoughts or stories about online doctor-patient communications?
