Summary
Join Ella in a candid conversation with Dr. Geeta Nayyar about healthcare information, mis-information, and dis-information in the age of social media.
· Is social media is a boon or bane for healthcare consumers?
· Is it a tool for empowerment or a breeding ground for misinformation?
· Should consumers blindly follow medical professionals, or is it time to advocate for our own health choices?
· Is social media a reliable source of information or a dangerous platform for spreading myths and disinformation?
· Ella challenges the traditional belief of unquestioningly following doctors' advice.
In a thought-provoking discussion, Ella and Dr. Geeta explore the balance between trusting medical professionals and advocating for personal health choices.
