这篇文章行文流畅,用词精准,是典型的经济学人范文,但是很多细节都值得深究,一不小心就会落入"自以为是"的坑,对于专业性强的领域,避免用自己的固话思维去理解,否则就会走偏,比如最后一段中的payer,如果不是群里大神解释,我也会自然而然地理解为消费者,其实广义来说是为医疗买单的人。解答"payer不一定是消费者吧,也可能是政府或者single pay这样的医疗机构或者保险公司"

医护行业也在互联网的风向标下经历着改革阵痛,其中除了传统的医院受到影响,最大的受益者消费者似乎也不能免除一些困扰如个人信息的获取和安全问题,文中提到的crash不仅存在新旧医疗平台分一杯羹,对imformed consensus 冲击,也存在这个链条上不同的角色间。无论走向如何,远程诊疗还是有很大的发展空间。
