Patient2Patient Medical WebGuidesTM
Imagine walking into a library looking for information about a disease... and finding 240,000 books on the subject! How could you ever know which ones had the best, most reliable information? And what if the first few books you tried were written for doctors - or were too simplistic? How could you be sure the information you found was up-to-date?
At the beginning of your search how would you even know what information you needed, or should be looking for? And what would you do the next time you had a question that required different information about your disease - would you start this laborious search all over again?
This is what patients and caregivers frequently experience when trying to find critical medical information on the Internet - where there are an average of 240,000 search engine listings per major condition.
What would you do?
You'd ask the librarian for help... and Patient2Patient is the librarian of the medical Internet. Our Patient2Patient WebGuidesTM ensure that patients and caregivers quickly and easily find the critical medical information and other resources on the Internet that they need.
Our medical staff conducts hundreds of hours of Internet research on each condition and disease to find a selection of the best medically credible sites geared to your individual level of use and understanding.
