PatientReaction

Where patients go to share their medical experiences.

PatientReaction is a medical social network and patient/caregiver resource with over 8,000 of the most common diagnoses that affect the entire family. This extensive coverage makes it one of the most comprehensive platforms available, providing invaluable support and information for a wide range of health conditions.

With medical error identified as the third leading cause of death in the United States, the importance of sharing one's medical experiences cannot be overstated. A landmark study conducted by Dr. Martin A. Makary and Dr. Michael Daniel from Johns Hopkins University, published in The BMJ in 2016, estimated that more than 250,000 deaths occur each year in the U.S as a result of medical error-placing it behind only heart disease and cancer as a leading cause of death. The authors called for better tracking, transparency, and patient involvement in order to reduce preventable harm. (Makary, M. A., & Daniel, M. (2016). Medical error-the third leading cause of death in the US. The BMJ, 353, i2139. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i2139)

PatientReaction is a groundbreaking medical social network designed to inform, connect, and empower patients and caregivers. What sets it apart is how it transforms the traditional dynamic between patients and healthcare providers. By equipping individuals with real-world insights, shared experiences, and practical health information, the platform fosters a new kind of collaboration-one built on informed dialogue, mutual understanding, and active participation in care decisions. This shift from passive patient to informed partner is revolutionary. It allows patients and caregivers to engage meaningfully with their healthcare teams, ask better questions, and make choices that reflect both clinical guidance and personal values. The result is not just improved communication-it's better care, increased trust, and ultimately, better health outcomes.

Welcome To PatientReaction – a medical social network built for all of us.

Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, a loved one, or simply someone seeking clarity in the chaos of healthcare, this platform was created to give you a voice. We are in early beta testing and already seeing strong activity and views – but now we need your voice, your experience, your insight. The power of this network comes when we share. Not just reading. Not just watching. But posting. That one post could change someone's life. Or even save it.

We created PatientReaction because the current healthcare system in America, access to top- quality healthcare often depends on resources – not everyone has the same opportunities when it comes to finding the best doctors or receiving the best care. Coupled with medical error now the third leading cause of death in the U.S., it is critical that we learn from the patients and caregivers who've gone before us. No one should have to face these challenges alone. Posting here helps create a living, breathing timeline of real experiences – what others have encountered, what questions they asked, what decisions helped or hurt, and how they navigated complex care. This isn't about replacing your doctors. It's about showing up informed and empowered to be an equal partner in your healthcare journey.

If you're reading this – don't wait. The strength of PatientReaction lies in participation. Not tomorrow. Not when it's too late. Now. Every voice matters. Your story, your insight, your questions could be the missing piece in someone else's journey. By sharing, you're not only helping others – you're helping build a stronger, smarter, more human healthcare community. This is your platform. Use it.
