Return to article: How to Find and Evaluate Health Care Information on the Internet
on 12/13/2007 Ah, excellent advice, Liz. I had pictured people going to the Internet for information after a diagnosis by a doctor. Doing it the other way around doesn't sound like a good idea.
on 12/12/2007 Good advice, and many useful links. Remember that the internet is no substitute for your own doctor - I work with doctors and they are increasingly frustrated with the way that people diagnose themselves on the internet and come in wanting treatment before the doctor even looks at them! Ideally, the information you find on the internet will supplement the conversation that you have with your health care providers.
