5 Tips for Safe Medical Web Surfing


In short:


  • Find the right search engines such as medlineplus.gov and healthfinder.gov. Sites that end with .edu or .gov are usually more trustworthy. Watch out for commercial websites on health.

  • Find smart bloggers with the same disease

  • Invest in the tutorial of pubmed.gov

  • Read the About me when visiting medical websites and be sure they are doctors.

  • Visit sites from annual meetings, for instance from the American Psychiatric Association
