Das Internet hat nicht nur unser Einkaufs- und Kommunikationsverhalten verändert, sondern nimmt auch wesentlichen Einfluss auf das Arzt-Patienten-Verhältnis. Denn ob Husten, Schnupfen oder knackende Gelenke, die Menschen neigen immer mehr dazu, zuerst online nachzusehen, was Ursache für die Beschwerden sein könnten und dann erst einen Arzt aufzusuchen. Wenn Sie auch schon das eine oder andere Mal mit dieser Situation konfrontiert waren, dass Ihnen der Patient bereits die Diagnose gestellt hat, dann wissen Sie um die Problematik.
