Prescription Hyperlinks

How deep does the rabbit hole go anyway? How far into your personal medical affairs can you get on the website? Sure, you can write about it all you want, but I spoke earlier about the mode of communication known as labeling or categorizing, so, in the same vein, you also have the ability to mark down whatever prescriptions you are taking, and refer to them in a forum post so that they come up as hyper links. Pretty cool right? People use this function pretty frequently and get a heavy response from the moderators and the people who may be taking the same drug and want to discuss side effects.

This easy function of communication suggests an easy way of communicating about something that might otherwise take some research. This way, you can simply click on the link if you're unsure what the drug does or what the side effects are. It truly embodies new media communication.
