My Thoughts –
Recently, I heard someone comment on how much has changed with regard to our access to information. She was talking about how to look up and reference medical studies. She mentioned that as little as 25 years ago, scientific and medical information was kept in universities world-wide and not available to the general public.
Nowadays, medical journals, studies and comprehensive information on all sorts of medical conditions can be found online. I recently brought my elderly uncle to our local non-urgent care hospital, which routinely hosts student doctors from Queen’s University. After the student doctor met with my uncle to start the diagnosis, she left to prepare her presentation to the attending physician. I went into the hallway to make a phone call and noticed the student doctor looking up pictures similar to his condition online. Seems like everyone is relying on our new-found wealth of easily accessible medical information.
Likewise, a virtual conference including 1,000 participants listening live to presentations from international experts was unheard of even 15 years ago.
We are fortunate to live in a time when technology can deliver trusted medical information to us, information we can research ourselves, and information we can use to improve our lives. I encourage you to register for the conference in November. You’ll be part of something big.
