  • out of date stats

    You may well have a good point here but quoting stats about doctor's attitudes towards internet use from 2001 is beyond useless. Access to and perceptions about the internet were totally different then as opposed to 2008. As you point out yourself, in 1999 many doctors had very little knowledge about the internet. Two years later that was probably still the case. But in 2008 you can be very certain that has changed drastically.
