The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Medical Resources
When you seek medical information on the Internet, you'll find huge variations in quality, from top-quality sources of reliable information to scummy scams designed to rob you blind. How can you tell the difference? And how do you evaluate the hundreds of thousands of sites somewhere between those two extremes? These sites might have some valid information hidden under a blanket of misinformation. Or they might promote an unproven treatment zealously, believing it to be the almighty cure. Or their agenda might be to sell you products rather than to inform you. It's like wandering blindly through a maze! Enter the guide dog, relentlessly sniffing out the good, the bad, the ugly, and the just plain silly. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Medical Resources points you to outstanding Web sites covering a variety of medical topics, including some fresh ones that even experienced surfers probably don't know. More important, this book teaches you how to find the information you seek on your own, and how to evaluate the Web sites you find on the journey. You learn to read the Information Superhighway road map and drive yourself to your destination, steering away from scams, frauds, and misleading claims and advice. You learn to read the signs that tell you which sites are worth a long visit. Out of Print. Please email Joan to inquire about availability.

Mark
Twain didn't believe in reading medical magazines. "You could die of a
misprint," he wrote. Imagine what he'd say about the craziness people
read on the Internet!
