The Greens are the Kings' neighbors. Mr. Green's name is John. But when his neighbors talk about him, they call him “Mr. Going-to-do” .Do you know why? Mr. Green always says he is going to do something, but he never does it. Every Saturday Mr. Green goes to the Kings' back door and talks to Mr. King.“ I'm going to clean my house today,” he says, or “I'm going to wash my car tomorrow.” or “The trees in front of my house are too big. I'm going to cut them down next week.” Mr. King usually says,“ Are you, John?” He knows his neighbor is not going to clean his house, or wash his car, or cut down any trees. Then he says, “Well, excuse me, John. I'm going to do some work in the house.” And so he does. Mr. and Mrs. King often say to their children,” Are you going to do something? Then do it! Don't be another Mr. Going-to-do!” ?

E-mail can be a powerful new tool in improving communication between patients and doctors, according to one expert.

“Using the Internet, doctors can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time,” writes Dr. Dada Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, UK.

  According to Pal, nearly forty percent of American patients say they have used e-mail to communicate with a doctor.

  He notes, however, that although patients have such interest, only up to two percent of doctors in the united States offer e-mail service.

  Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point, patient to patient information materials and other resources on the Internet. It's said that more than ten thousand healthoriented websites already exist now.

  However, some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care—one for Internet“haves” and another for the “have-nots”

  But Pal points out that“ by the year 2000 nearly every library will offer (Internet and e-mail) services in the United States, allowing even low-income patients to use such means.” Pal also talks about other possible barriers to the acceptance of medical e-mail.

  “Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload and uncertainty about payment for the time they spent,” he explains, and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others.“But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.

  E-mail may well help us a lot in health care, Pal concludes. “Patients can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway less fearful, than face-to-face dialogues with their doctors.”
