Social Media Medicine

More people are taking to social media to share their medical problems with the hope of finding answers from anyone who might have suffered the same symptoms. New shows like TNT’s Chasing the Cure and Netflix’s Diagnosis aim to capitalize on this trend while helping those who suffer from undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or uncured medical mysteries. We discuss these shows and how social media is changing medicine. **GROSS ANATOMY PODCAST IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.
