The use of researchers needing subjects and pharmaceutical companies requiring specialists were just the most obvious and direct examples that came to mind when I was trying to demonstrate how a website of this nature might be beneficial. I think the real benefits would lie in the creation of a knowledge space which would be the result of the new channels of multi-lateral communication between patients, specialists and pharmaceutical companies.
And IF there are specialists of the medical kind lurking out there, would it not be great if they made their presence known? Are they afraid that they would have 5000 people sending them emails??? I don't get it.
