Health 2.0 Europe: A Moveable Feast–Susannah Fox

April 19, 2010 By Susannah Fox 13 Comments

Ernest Hemingway wrote that Paris is a moveable feast, not fixed in time or place.

“Patients” vs. “Health Care Consumers”? Both, If You Ask AmyT–Susannah Fox

February 2, 2009 By Susannah Fox 4 Comments

Amy Tenderich weighs in on the name debate: patient vs. consumer. Almost anything is better than cyberchondriac or medical googler, but e-patient is still my favorite.
