I think Mr. Traiger will find interesting responses from the Celiac Community. Fran/Oregon ********************************************************* Hello, my name is Dean Traiger. I am a medical student in my last year of training and I am working on a research paper about medicine and the Internet. My research deals with taking a critical look at how the Internet is having/will have an impact, be it negative or positive, on the physician - patient relationship. I do believe that the Internet as a whole will have a far more beneficial impact on medicine than negative, but after searching through the literature I found that there is almost no discussion of the dangers and pitfalls of using the Internet. What I am searching for now is the view of others who have experience on the Internet and can look at the Internet critically for a moment and can tell me what they feel are the dangers and pitfalls to medicine and to the patient-physician relationship. I have prepared two surveys to help me with this task. One is geared specifically for physicians and the other specifically for the general public. You can answer the survey using any general web browser (Netscape, MS Internet Explorer, or even Lynx). The address to reach the survey is: http://www.actcom.co.il/~dean If you do not have access to the world wide web and would like to participate in the study, please email me and I will send you a copy of the survey via email for you to fill out and return to me. Thank you for your time. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email me at any time to express them.
