Forget reading health journals or waiting to talk to your doctor. When people want their health questions answered, they go online. That’s according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.

Those online activities include reading about other people’s medical experiences or health issue on blogs, looking at online rankings or reviews of doctors and hospitals, signing up for emails or listening to health-related podcasts.
