The New York Times had a first-person essay about the perils of seeking health information form the Internet, from physicians, and then from the Internet again. There is a lot of health information out there in all sorts of different forms - written, verbal, in-person, online and more- and it can be extremely difficult to wade through it all, especially if you do not have an established relationship with a health professional you trust.
You can find the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/30/health/30seco.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink
So how do you wade through all the information? What can patients and physician do to wade through it all?
