00:00In the last few years, the relationship between the doctor and the patient has changed a lot.
00:09It is no longer developed only in the clinic, but also on the web, on social media.
00:14I believe that this is certainly a very important thing,
00:18as regards the dissemination of medical problems,
00:21as well as the prevention of medical problems,
00:25to reach all patients very quickly.
00:29The use of social media channels for medical and scientific dissemination
00:35is certainly useful for younger patients,
00:39who are the ones who use social media channels the most,
00:43but also for older people.
00:46It can be very useful for prevention,
00:50to make immediately known pathologies that may be unknown.
00:57So, in my opinion, even the elderly do not lag behind,
01:00there are still very important channels for medical and scientific dissemination.
01:05My experience is that it is certainly possible to reach patients much faster,
01:10to eliminate the barrier that sometimes exists between the doctor and the patient.
01:17Of course, all these things must be done in a very professional and scientific way,
01:23based on scientific publications and scientific articles.
01:27So, all this must be done in a very serious way.
01:31Probably the rules on social media, in my opinion,
01:37must be completely changed.
01:40We must respect, and this is right, a deontological code in the clinic,
01:44but sometimes we find ourselves being a little limited on social media channels.
01:49So, probably a more modern deontological code,
01:52in line with the times, would certainly be necessary
01:56to renew this relationship with patients.
01:59Certainly, sometimes the answer we must give at the end of every consultation
02:04on social media is to turn to your own pharmacist or your own trusted doctor.
02:09Perhaps giving some indications on some therapy,
02:12maybe on some dermocosmetic or on some slightly simpler drug,
02:17could be useful to help our patients.
