"A Second Opinion From Dr. Google"
Excerpt:
"Dr. Michael Lowenstein, co-director of the California-based Waismann Institute, believes that the more educated patients are about their health, the better care they’ll get. He also says patients need to be their own advocates in today’s health care environment. For example:
“There are patients who educate themselves and go to reputable websites that have good information. It makes for an intelligent dialogue between doctor and patient about the medical condition and treatment options.”
