I recently read a USA Today entitled “Some doctors join Facebook, Twitter; others wary,” which has sparked another debate about health care going digital. Dr. Jeff Livingston, a certified obstetrician and gynecologist, is using social media to promote his practice, MacArthur OB/GYN, and create a public platform for a subject matter that quite often is stigmatized as too confidential and personal to discuss. As he notes in the article, he isn’t publishing personal health information online, but instead shares helpful articles and advice that he believes would benefit his followers and fans.
