[edit] Overview
There is a great deal of reliable information available on the Web to help you understand more about diseases, conditions, symptoms, medical resources and ways toward optimum health. While no means an exhaustive list, we have attempted to provide you with some helpful guidelines on how to do research on the Web. Some websites are aimed at the general public, others are for medical professionals. Remember, anyone can post information on the Internet, so knowing which sites are authentic, reliable, accurate and up-to-date is essential. Senior Planet can help you become a more discerning Web user; be sure to check out our Evaluating Websites link.
Being an educated patient can also be useful when it comes to discussing your particular condition with your care provider. For example, being prepared for your medical appointments with a list of questions, can help them go more smoothly and may help ease anxiety. You can check out our Doctor's Appointment page for more tips and information.
Remember, the Web is just one resource for information and is not intended to replace the care of a medical professional. Be sure to seek medical assistance in any emergency.
