医生终于也要跨入e世代了

Doctors Ignore E-Mails, Still Like Phones

除非有钱到能当个VIP病人，不然一般人生病看医生，要不得直接到诊所里挂号排队，要不就得打电话到医院，请医生回电，即使在网络和e-mail盛行的现代，这样的医疗模式仍旧没有改变，至少根据调查显示，大部分的医生不愿意透过e-mail和病人沟通。

尽管现在透过网络，我们能买到的东西从披萨到车子应有尽有，但就是没办法请医生开立处方签或是询问一般性的问题，根据某份调查指出，使用网络问诊服务后，大约10%左右的病人不会到医院看诊，14%的病患不会再打电话「打扰」医生，另一份去年所做的调查却显示，只有30%的医生愿意回病人e-mail。

是什么导致医生们这么排斥使用e-mail呢？医生们的理由包括担心病人的隐私会被泄漏，或是病人无法通过e-mail得到最实时的医疗信息，但追根究底，真正的原因还是在于医生们不会因为花时间回病人e-mail而得到更多的报酬，而这个现象在信诺保险集团(Cigna)及安泰保险集团(Aetna)愿意支付网络问诊服务后，可能会有所改变。

所以，即使现在网络问诊仍不普遍，但或许在几年后，我们真的有可能不用亲自跑一趟医院，就得到专业协助，解决身上的病痛。
