Wikipedia Vs. Doctor?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

I spent Yesterday in the hospital with my sister, She called up and asked if I could take her down because she thought she was having a problem with kidney stones again. It turns out that it was a little more complicated that that. Although she is doing fine today after last nights surgery, I can tell you it was a little scary there for awhile.

It seems that she had a type of cyst that was extremely rare. Here is where the technology part comes in: Before the on-call doctor was able to get a specialist in to check and diagnose this for sure, I was able to use the browser in my phone to look up all kinds of information on the cyst. That way, when the specialist did concur with the diagnoses, we were able to ask some intelligent questions. We were also able to get her the help she needed, as well as the peace of mind that she was being well taken care of. Without the ability to do this, things might have become overwhelming, as she was wheeled in to surgery with an hour of the diagnoses.

Thanks to the Doctors who made my sister better!
