On the one hand the patient empowerment and a more shared and human medicine, on the other the scientific community has access to a continuous information. The communication 2.0 and its tools allow the healthcare world to share medical information with followers, to store and manage the useful articles in an efficient manner, to be always up to date and to teach patients with a greater chance to establish an empathic and dynamic relationship. The evolution of the web and its tools represent steps towards an ideal medicine. (Clinical_Management)
