Why it Matters: The Pertussis Experience• With introduction of DTP vaccine, U.S. pertussis

cases declined 90 percent in 15 years, from 120,000 cases in 1950 to 6,800 in 1965.

• For 37 years, cases never exceeded 10,000/yr.

Main Points of White Paper• Social networking is pandemic in society

• Medical professionals have been less present in online health discussions, with negative consequences for human health

• Blocking doesn’t solve the problems it purports to address

• Open access, clear policies and effective education are the best solution to perceived problems and mitigate the consequences of provider absence

Dr. Richard Berger and UT Ligament Split Tear

Jayson Werth’s experience

USA Today

Last Friday

3031031-9

Less than 24 hours after my initial appointment, I not only had a new diagnosis - a UT split tear - but had surgery to correct the problem. As I write this, my right arm is in a festive green, but otherwise annoying cast. The short-term hassle, however, should be more than worth the

long-term gain - the potential for a future without chronic wrist pain. A future, that without Twitter and those in the

medical community willing to experiment with new communications tools, might not exist for me.
