An Intelligent Approach to Healthcare

I have to admit that I’m not too fond of conventional practices in the medical field, and my recent illness has done nothing to shore up my opinion. I know that a lot of people think that our government and hmos are to blame for the current dilemma, but I think there’s more factors, including our super-litigious society and the skyrocketing costs of malpractice insurance.
No matter where you stand on this issue, I think we can all agree that the days of Doctors like Welby or Kildare making house calls are long gone. It’s vital for everyone to take charge of their own healthcare and realize that they are ultimately responsible for managing their own health. Thankfully, med3q has developed a social network site that’s based on the concept,“It’s your health. Make it personal.” The site offers support to people with chronic conditions diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. However, they also offer consumers and doctors the priceless opportunity of interacting safely and discreetly, if need be.
They also have a terrific section titled BizRx. It’s for doctors only and it provides meaningful business information in a concise manner to help doctors improve the business aspect of their practice. Doctors can also interact with their peers in the secluded section, allowing them to exchange timely information and enchange in meaningful dialogue with each other.
The best news of all is that it’s totally free! Not only that, the site is having a contest and giving away prizes in their Member Appreciation Drawing. But even if you go just to enter the contest at first, I think your life may be better off if you read some of the blogs and participate in the discussions in the forums. Personally, I think Med3Q.com can help everyone take better control of their health and that may be the most valuable ‘prize’ anyone can ever receive.
