Before I start talking about social media, I would like to share with you this interesting clip which shows you some of statistics and facts about social media at the end of 2010.
From here I don’t want to talk about social media in general, I only want to grab a part of the good we can get from social media, which is health care industry.
Nowadays, when anyone got sick first thing he do is searching online for a medicine or a way to cure himself without seeing a doctor, and in a lot of cases this method works, whether he found people who had the same problem he has, (then they share with him the way they did to cure themselves), or to contact with a doctor who would advise him to the right bath.
A hundreds of doctors have an active presence on social media sites, helping a lot of people in their disease, saving time, effort and money for people.
In this clip will give some statistics about health care with social media
This is a link to a social media site where everyone can get advantage of its benefits, which you can find patient who had a disease, and they shared some important information about it.

I agree with you because of social media we can save our valuable times like if we have urgent work that we can’t go to doctor office or it’s too far, at that time we can consult with the doctor through email or blog. Nowadays it is very easy to contact with foreign country doctors also and it became possible for social media.
yes i agree with you asmari
nowadays you dont need to go to the doctor's office to know more about the healthy life style, the healthy food and how to live your life in the best way you can ...
because now doctors actually have websites, bloggs,emails and facebook pages..
you can easly comunicate with them or you can simply surf the web and read all their articals..social media made our life easier..
