Visible Body is having their applications on both Android[google.com] and iOS for sale at $0.99 each (normally $24.99+). Those apps provide great amount of information at this price.
As someone that uses Android, is there any way to "gift" someone an app on to someone on iOS? Or is the only way the boring way to buy them an Apple GC and say "here, go buy these apps I recommend"😒
As an MD, the issue is that most docs aren't too tech savvy and on top of that, sometimes I do like the simplicity of something that always works. I do encourage patients to look up diagnoses and I try to at least spell it out for them and find a representative image on Google for the curious patients. As for healthcare costs, physicians account for 8% of healthcare costs, and we're constantly pressed for faster and faster turnaround and seeing more and more patients a day. On top of that, to be honest, most patients I see don't really care to understand the details. In short, if you do want to understand more, just ask, I personally am more than happy to flip through Google images or Wikipedia with patients, and I'm always glad when I see a patient so involved in their own care.
Rare to see a doctor happy with a curious patient. Last time I asked question to a Orthopedic, he yelled at me saying he is the doctor and I better take shots he was advising.

Physician payment linked to giving treatment is the problem. Insurance tried to improve by linking to least number of prescriptions and lab tests, but that has its own problems.
Insurance is the root problem. Need better regulation but not happening while half the country hates affordable care act

Sounds like you need to find a new doctor with less inflated ego and doesn't use the appeal to authority argument to shut down questions..
The only thing I found irritating was that I purchased them on my phone and installed them to see if they were any good, then went to install them on my tablet and even though they are in my library, I have to pay again to have them where I originally intended. 🤦 ♂️ It's only $.99 each, but it still pisses me off. You've been warned.
Edit: This is on the Google Playstore and my Android devices. Every other app I have works on any of my Android devices.
