“That’s a huge concern by many physicians,” he says. “Sure, but you can get into trouble driving a car. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be driving a car. … You just have to be smart about what you do. And the main thing is, just don’t use it as a place to take out your aggression about other doctors or patients. … I think we have to change the discussion. Instead of, ‘Here are all the problems with social media,’ I think we have to change that to say, ‘These are all the great things about social media.’”
