Interesting! I read the article, and it would be great if they "teased out" which types of media the patients used in their online research, as the difference between evidence-based/credible internet site versus non-credible health sites is enormous, and often difficult to spot. However, I supposed if patients are using any type of media for information, then asking their doctor about what they found, then it at least starts the conversation.
