Social Media for Healthcare Makes Sense

摘要

My early memories of hospitals included scary emergency rooms and sharp needles-I was pretty sick as a kid. At 18, I nearly died and spent two weeks in the hospital (over Christmas, New Year's, and my birthday). I vaguely remember the nurses and doctors being kind and compassionate and honestly trying to help me and my parents understand what was happening. But I was sick and scared, and the experience was bewildering. When I left the hospital feeling better, I tried hard to forget my time there and do whatever it took never to go back into a hospital again.
