doctor@email.md

USA Today columnist Kim Painter examines the growing trend of doctors communicating with their patients via email. It seems this is a trend that hadn't been catching on, given the potential hazards associated with communication over the web. Many doctors were nervous that medical data might become compromised, or that vital information sent over email might not reach them in time. Recently though, doctors are realizing that patients have a similar set of concerns, and will adjust their email habits to make communicating with their medical professional easy and effective. Max.MD is one company that Painter doesn't mention that provides a HIPAA enabled email product along with a .md domain registration, thereby negating the dangers of Internet communication. If you are in medicine, you should take a look at www.max.md to learn about the .md domain.
