Uterus1: What about finding medical information on the web?
Dr. Craig deFreese: The internet can be a wonderful tool for patients. It can be useful for helping people understand medical problems. I very often will direct patients to Internet resources to learn about different diseases or treatment options for their particular problem.
Knowledge is power. I think the more people can use the Internet as a research tool to take control of the management of their care, the better overall treatment they receive. Caution needs to be used however. Patients need to understand that not all web sites with medical information are reputable. Most people understand this.
