Google Health
I read this article which I found very cool regarding Google Health. It allows patients to manage their personal medical records on-line. The patient actually has control of these medical records as well. I thought this was extremely convenient. I have moved several times in the past ten years, and I always had to find a new general doctor and start all over. I am in good medical health, so I do not carry my medical records with me when I move, although I should. But having the ability to access them on-line and allow my doctor to have access to them as well, can be very important in the future. I recall a friend of mine many years ago having a fishing accident that caused a lot of facial damage. He had to have several plastic surgeries, not to mention dental work. But after several years, the medication they gave him, had an adverse interaction with the medication he was already on prior to the accident. Man did that mess him up. Having his medical records on-line and accessible to all his doctors could have avoided this bad interactions with his medication. I will definitely look into subscribing to this Google Health.
