Description:
As anyone who has ever logged on to the Internet for medical information will tell you, the amount of material out there is mind-boggling, if not mind-numbing. And what you find once you wade into these cyberwaters is so often contradictory, confusing, or suspect that it is easy to feel more addled than assisted by the plethora of information. Dr. Ian Smith's Guide to Medical Websites puts order to this chaos. As a medical correspondent for NBC's Today show and a regular columnist for Time, Dr. Smith hears from many people with medical questions. Not only does he personally address their concerns, he constantly researches medical websites. Through his extensive research, Dr. Smith has culled the top general medical sites as well as the best sites in every medical specialty. In this guide, he has organized them according to common terms for medical problems. Each listing includes a short summary of the site, a credibility rating, and an overall rating that takes into account, among other things:
-- links
-- contact information
-- frequency of site updates
-- navigability
-- readability
