My Goto Medical Source

[JustinCase]

I flag www.webmd.com in some of my posts because I consider them a good/better dependable medical authority. The reason, it's the usual magazine that you will find in most medical facilities waiting rooms. The CDC/FDA/any others to me can be a 'crap shoot'.

Same here. If I feel I'm having any issues, I go to WebMD, or the Mayo Clinic web sites, and research what I'm feeling. That way, if I Do have to go to the doctor, I have some idea of what questions to ask, etc. Besides, it seems like the few times I've gone to the doctor for anything other than the annual checkup, they go to their laptop and basically just do what I did.

I feel it's important for a person to do some research before and after a doctor visit....if for no other reason than to verify a diagnosis. After all, incorrect diagnosis and medical mistakes are one of the leading causes for deaths.

I second the Mayo Clinic site; also the Amer. Cancer (or whatever disease) Society site.

My doctor is my only medical source and my education in nursing.

Like above posters ... I go to Web MD and Mayo Clinic. They are good places to start for medical information, because they aren't trying to sway you on anything.
They just lay out the facts about diseases, drugs, etc.. and you decide what you want to do with that information.
