From Mayo Clinic: May 11, 2010 — People use Twitter to share information: The latest news, current events, what people are talking about, even what's for dinner. Now, people are using it to get access to health care. Last year Mayo Clinic teamed up with USA today and scheduled a Twitter chat about a painful wrist injury. Today a woman who joined that chat is pain free.
Cleveland Clinic is also active on Twitter by asking staff to participate in scheduled chats with patients on a variety of health topics.
