Your personal concierge of medical information

Self-education has become a part of our lives, ‘looking up’ everything we want to know about, know how to do, or want to understand. You are reading this now to learn.

ComputeA huge chunk of the internet is devoted to medicine. Information is everywhere, on professional sites like webmd.com to online communities and self-help groups, to personal blogs about one’s medical condition.   Anyone can write about anything – and this presents a dilemma:

How do you know if what you read is for real ?

Your physician had studied for years, taken in vast amounts of medical facts, and learned to apply them every day.  We have spent tens of thousands of hours to be able to give you an instant answer to your question.  Physicians understand what is for real, and what is not relevant.  The discussion by Joe and his knee surgery may be interesting but is not something on which to base a personal medical decision.

When you do read, look at the source.  Is it a peer-reviewed study or commentary?  Is it just opinion or the results of one person that went well . . .or badly ?

Let us (physicians) help you.  Let us synthesize the information you bring in to us (and I know you will because you do every day) and tell you what it means to YOU and your very unique situation that doesn’t apply to anyone else.  We are your medical consultant – your concierge of medical information, and will help guide you where you want, or may need, to go.
