My patients used to come in with piles of Internet printouts. I had to do something. On PeoplesMD I created Health Stacks for the most common diagnoses. Now that I'm directing my patient's online research, there's a lot less confusion, and a lot fewer printouts.

I have a high-risk pregnancy (twins) and found a Stack started by another high-risk mom on PeoplesMD. Last week I contributed a bookmark on yogurt and digestion. Seven moms told me how much it helped their heartburn. Researching health alone is scary. It helps to know there are other people out there.

I have Prostate Cancer and soon I'll need to make some tough decisions. I created a Health Stack for each of the issues I am researching. Best of all, I can look into the Stacks of other Prostate Cancer patients and use their bookmarks for myself.

My father has Dementia. There are so many decisions to make (costs, drugs, and Medicare) so I created a private Stack just for my brothers and me. In our Stack, each of us can add bookmarks. Now my brothers and I are always on the same page, and we can make informed decisions for dad.

I use the web all the time to research new drugs, treatments and cases. Now I organize and categorize all the websites I find on PeoplesMD. Sometimes I even share my research with colleagues. Best of all, I can see what other doctors in my field are bookmarking.

I have over 130 bookmarks on my specialty. I uploaded them into PeoplesMD, added tags and arranged them into Health Stacks on 8 different sub-topics. Now, it’s easier than ever to find what I’m looking for online. That means less hours in the library.
