Surgeons educate patients, medical students via Twitter
Surgeons are using Twitter in the operating room to educate medical students and the public about various procedures. Estimates are that more than 100 hospitals have a Twitter account and 82 hospitals have Facebook pages. The Mayo Clinic, one of the first to embrace the new technologies to reach out to patients, has a full-time staffer dedicated to social networking. ABC News (04/16)
