I've heard of more and more people trying online therapy, but I've never tried it myself. I came upon a site called Tranquil Counseling that specializes in postpartum depression counseling. And it's done online through e-mail and live one-on-one chats. That would be amazingly convenient for new moms. Imagine laying your baby down for a nap and then going into the next room for a PPD therapy session.

Providing a surgeon’s e-mail address nearly triples the likelihood that a patient will contact the doctor about the surgery, a new report shows. But is this a good idea? Does answering e-mails keep doctors from attending to patients in their offices? Or is this the next stage of communication in healthcare?
