Welcome to the Take on Healthcare Podcast! In this episode, Mary Sheehan, a pharmacist, and Dr. Ted Suzelis, naturopathic doctor, discuss a growing trend - the internet providing more healthcare advice than trained practitioners. Why are people turning to the web, and what are the risks involved?
🤔 *Topics Covered:* - Reasons why people don't trust their doctors. - Challenges in scheduling doctor visits. - Fear of judgment and the appeal of the non-judgmental internet. - The allure of online health advice: Instant access, free information, and seeking advice from perceived "experts." - The downside of trusting online advice: Inaccuracies, potential dangers, and the risk of delaying professional treatment.
💡 *Key Takeaways:* - The internet provides instant information but lacks the wisdom of personalized, professional advice. - Relying solely on online advice can be risky and may lead to unnecessary worry, delayed treatment, or wrong conclusions. - It's essential to seek guidance from trained professionals who can provide customized solutions for your specific health needs.
🌐 *Additional Options:* - Consider seeking advice from a naturopathic doctor who offers personalized programs. - Talk to friends and family for recommendations on doctors aligned with your needs. - Explore virtual appointments for convenient healthcare access.
