As a future health care provider i will implement new media into my practice and i will do my best to educate my patient about the available resource that might be useful for them. I think the biggest and important factor is to be able to reach and educate people using easy language that they can understand. I think with the new media and the use of technology it is definitely possible to educate and make available information in different languages.

Unit 6 post
I believe that the new media has increased the level of personal empowerment. Most of the resources being used, like the Internet, TV, newspaper, radio has increased people's knowledge about health care issues, health care providers and more. The new media has helped answer some of people's question regarding a specific issue. While on the bright side the new media seems to be a helpful and a powerful tool for people to use, i am afraid to say that it might harm people if they do not know what is a reliable source and what is not. If people are not guided and directed to a reliable source, they might not get the information needed, and might end up harmed than benefited.

I agree totally regarding your cautionary statements about the veracity of information on the internet and in these various forms of media. There is a real danger of the public becoming misled by those who have a personal agenda or who merely feel they are affected by a "diagnosis" that may or may not be real. Nice post...thank you!
