(NAPSI)-Opportunities to find health and medical information online seem to expand daily. Yet for many, that information can be confusing--and people are often left wondering if sources are credible. Indeed, one state attorney general issued an alert to consumers to always check their sources of online information--and Dr. Evelyn Tobias Merrill of Texans Against Lawsuit Abuse said, “The best source for information if patients have a question about their care is to ask their doctor or health care provider.” Dr. John J. Connolly, President & CEO of Castle Connolly Medical Ltd, publishers of “America’s Top Doctors,” agrees. “Your selection of a top doctor for you or your family should include knowing that the doctor can help you find and understand the information you need to confront your medical condition,” said Dr. Connolly. The book, now in its 7th edition, profiles more than 5,000 of the nation’s most outstanding medical specialists. It is available in all major bookstores and online at www.castleconnolly.com. It’s important to find credible sources when researching health information on the Web. |
