Secure Email

I downloaded the Thunderbird application but all my mail is already being forwarding to microsoft outlook. So i sent all my mail through outlook :-) (below)

The following article discusses how a growing need for patient feed back through e-mail is growing. The article (or Blog) wants to know your feelings on this new doctor patient interaction and if you would use it or not, so that these new usage for secure email can take off or plummet to the ground. The patient - doctor confidentiality is a huge concern especially now with the ever so growing popularity of e-mailing. It is talking about how patients are communicating through secure email to their doctors. They can e-mail concerns and with in the business day the doctor can respond accordingly to that patient. Eliminating the face to face interaction. It opens a lot of doors through detailing medicines and prescribing prescriptions if a person does not have to go into the office it would be "spoiling" the client, but it would save huge minutes in a work day.Since secure e-mail is secure it would be a great revolution in the patient-doctor confidentiality and a revolution for time savers everywhere. It does however say to make sure of the prices when switching to an e-mail form of interaction as to be careful the it is more beneficial to you and not just your doctor.
