This is the VOA Special English Technology Report, a new survey finds that more than 80% of Internet users in the United States search for health information on-line. The survey is from the Pure Research Center's Internet and American life project and California health care foundation. Suzanna Forks from the Pure Internet project says doctors are still the main source of health information, but the survey found that searching on-line is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion. " People are re checking what they have heard from the doctor, our study shows that people are still very likely to turn to health professional when they need diagnosis treatment, 44% people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information on-line. Another finding of the survey : about 2/3 of the Internet users look for information on-line about a specific disease or medical condition. The Internet has also become a important source of emotional support for people with health problems. S says 1/5 of Internet users has gone on-line to find other people who have the same condition. " It was more prevalent among people with more serious health issues, one in four people live with chronic disease, and it was basically off the chat for people with raggedy, they are so eager to find other people on-line to share their health concerns." A disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than 200000 people worldwide. The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone. Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other. Dr. J, operates of medical center for women in Curbing Texas, his office uses password protected software to share information with patients. " We provide the patients 4 access to their medical record, anything I can see the patient can see, all of their notes, all of the doctor visits are right there, all of their lab work is right there. Dr.L says the software has increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved relationships with patients. " It has just revolutionized the way we do health care." His medical center also has a facebook page, a my space page and twitter feed and that is the VOA Special English Technology Report written by J.
