My question however is, why would i trust the "second opinion" of an online professional over that of a doctor WHO ACTUALLY EXAMINED ME in person?

Why would you Google search when you can visit the library? You know books are written by experts whereas websites can be published by anybody and are usually second opinion too.

Think of all the people in third world countries who might be able to eventually get easy access to the internet, but can't afford or don't have a nearby doctor.

jep, but the IT-platform is for all people and not only for the third world countries. Roll Eyes

For that reason alone is ehealth tenable. This project will or at least aims at democratising access to healthcare and early diagnosis. This is a lot.

If it's something seroius probably the "online profesional" would recomend you to go to a hospital to be check. It is not a matter of trust but sometimes to make a correct diagnosis you have to do tests that can not be done online.
