Abstract
Today's patients have access to more health care information than ever before. Non-traditional sources of information, namely the Internet and direct-to-consumer advertising, are quickly becoming the norm by which patients learn about their medical conditions and treatment options. At the same time, direct communication between physicians and patients has become more limited, due to the managed care-mandated time constraints on office visits.
