      Should doctors Friend patients on Facebook? Should they text patients? Interesting guidelines and data from ACP: http://bit.ly/ZSRajE

      I personally am fine using email w my established patients, through our patient gateway for security. I don't text. I prefer they page me.

          @drnickUSA @atul_gawande it's only "free" if you have a fee-for-service model. Otherwise it's part of doing business / being human.
