In march of last year, Dilbert came out with a Sunday’s comic talking about Google and health care. Essentially it was Catbert, the Evil Director of Human Resources, that switched their health care policies so that it forced all employees to use Google to diagnose their illnesses.
It feels like Dilbert, well, rather Scott Adams, was predicting Google Health and what we would be able to do with the product.
Is it really coming to that though? Where people will now be able to use their Blackberry’s iPhones, log on to Google Health, and figure out what is wrong with them at that very second? Diagnosis, symptoms, everything in between, could this really be the start of what could lead to the demise of many doctors? I hope not, doctors need to keep jobs even if they are paid too much.
