In addition to this, she added: “Nowadays patients are very involved with technology, it’s common for them to search health information in unreliable internet websites and to start inadequate treatments“.
Bearing in mind Linda Garcia Hidalgo’s observation, Santiago Troncar explained that, considering patients will never stop reading and searching for health information, this situation “is an opportunity for the medical community to create good content to guide them in their search”.
