People use the Internet for medical advice and to do medical check ups rather than directly meeting with doctors in an office. Why are they using the Internet for this? Is it a positive or a negative development?

During the

last

decade, the matter of getting medical

information

has turned

to

Suggestion

into

a controversy. I believe ease of

access

to the

internet

has made a popular substitute for visiting doctors in their offices, and

although

some people stick to the point that

development

the development

of

such

a trend is of a negative nature, under no circumstances would I agree with them and believe that getting needed

information

online is a change for the better.

To begin

with, the prime reason why people go online to get medical data lies in the fact that

internet

services and search engines give an easier mode of

access

to

internet

users. More specifically, never would the place you

live or

live, or

the time of the day be an issue in case you need to get some

advice

as to the kind of medical problem you might be experiencing.

In addition

, users have the chance to cross check

the different website

to find if there are any discrepancies between the

information

they are exposed to. To cite an example, people can visit their local medical clinics and

advice

and

then

go to English sites and find out whether there are the same, or even because of the ease of

access

to

internet

Suggestion

the internet

, patients can check sites and

then

cross reference them with their family doctors.

Therefore

, ease of

access

to

information

as well as having the possibility of making sure of the validity of the

information

received function as the

back bone

a central cohesive source of support and stability

backbone

for the popularity of

internet

in case of medicine.

On the other hand

, I believe moving to

internet

Suggestion

the internet

for medical

advice

is a positive development. In my opinion,

this

matter can emanate from the fact that patients or even those who need regular checkups can have a constant

access

to the

internet

or even be in touch with their doctor via the

internet

. To be more precise, there are people whose doctors live in a country other than their homeland and that can have the privilege of staying

with

Suggestion

in

touch with them no matter where they are. Beside these, some patients need round the clock care because of their chronic diseases like asthma or cardiovascular ones which can come true by being in touch with a doctor online.

For instance

, there are people living in developing countries who cannot afford to go to other countries for treatment, but by means of the

internet

they can talk to doctors and take good benefit of their help and

advice

.

Thus

, I believe the trend of moving to the

internet

for medical

advice

and checkups is a positive turn. By way of conclusion, on the basis of

argument

Suggestion

the argument

above, I once again state that ease of

access

to the

internet

is the reason why it has become popular among people and reaffirm my idea that it is a positive

change beneficial

for users.
