Even with secure e-mail, I have already experienced multi-page diatribes that ask all kinds of complicated questions that could be far easier addressed face-to-face.

Respectfully, I say that you are kidding yourself to think that patients do not want to engage in their healthcare via interactive web tools (whether email, following advice by own doc on Twitter, etc.). In fact, the numbers say just the opposite.

But I have much to say about the value of social media for patients ... you write about the value for physicians (and the limitations) - but for patients, there is a lot to be said about social media.
