The Internet is a powerful tool and an excellent source for all types of information.
Many Internet sites contain information about medical conditions and health care.
A good site can provide additional and valuable information about your condition, and enhance understanding of your diagnosis or your treatment. By learning more about your condition, you can spend more time with your physician discussing details of your care and more effectively participate in the medical decision making process. While the Internet is very useful for finding health care information, it is important to be aware of its limitations and potential risks. Information on the Internet may be inaccurate, incomplete, or lack the details that are relevant to your situation. Locating high quality information about your condition may be difficult.
