• Cameras and dedicated two-way communication channels between emergency responders and hospitals could allow us to triage patients and begin treating/preparing to treat them before they even arrive at the hospital.
  
  
• We could have a new kind of ER "in-take" or "pre-arrival" doctor operating a Google Buzz-like command center for receiving field data from emergency responders and patients before they arrive at the hospital.
  
  
• When a patient presents a new case to a doctor, a Google Wave-like interface could be created for that case, where all data relevant to the case, including procedure and test results, operations and their dictations, and inter-doctor discussion on the case to be replayed to all doctors who participate in the patient's care for that case.
  
  
• We could come up with new ways to share our happy news with our family and friends -- for example, what if you could set up private pages for your family to watch and talk live with you as you get your new 3-d ultrasound?
  
  
• If we were able to move more of our medical information and history into the cloud, we would be able to enjoy a lot of benefits, like having greater visibility of and control over the privacy of your information, improved and more complete long-term care, an easier way to deal with your insurance provider, etc.
  
  
• Rural patients could save on travel time while hopefully receiving more comprehensive care by asking questions and performing consults and follow-ups from home or from rural satellite health clinics.
  
  
• Fiber would give us better opportunities to educate new doctors via more interactive teaching methods. We could even go so far as to have area doctors and the work they do be much more visible to our younger students through live remote "job shadowing" sessions.
  
  
• Families connected with Google Fiber would have better access to healthy living/eating/etc. advice and community support networks (including those for drug and alcohol abuse and other illnesses)
  
  
• What if doctors were able to browse an *anonymized* live stream of cases within the community and offered diagnosis at will for a new model of quality assurance and redundancy in health care?
