Episode description

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP

"Doctors 'Google' their patients. In fact, the vast majority of physicians I know have done so... But it surprises me that more physicians don't pause and think about what it means for the patient-doctor relationship." This an excerpt by physician and author Dr. Haider Warraich from his New York Times article titled "When Doctors ‘Google' Their Patients." Join host Dr. Brian McDonough for an interesting discussion on the ethical ramifications of this trending practice among clinicians.
