Dr. Foster Health
In the age of computers, more and more patients are turning to the internet for medical information. This includes information on who to look for medical attention. After all, not all health concerns can be addressed by self medication and internet consults.
A site like Dr Foster Health is certainly very helpful. It includes Hospital Guides where you can look for the best hospital that will suit your needs — including their proximity to your location and whether they are qualified to perform the procedure that you are about to undergo. We should have one here in the Philippines!
Another great feature is the Medical Dictionary. This explains the diseases, the procedures (diagnostic or surgical), terminologies (so you’d understand what your doctor is saying), and even the people involved in your health care.
They also have a complementary therapist guide for such alternative treatment modalities like acupuncture, homeopathy, chipractic med, herbals, for people who would rather go to these modes of treatment rather than the conventional medical therapy.
Overall, I think it’s worth checking out. Even if you’re not currently based in the United Kingdom, the site contains a lot of information that looks more reliable than some other sites, presented in an easy to understand manner.
Hello Joey
Thanks for the positive comments regarding our site.
We are commissioning content from various medical professionals including consultant physicians, family physicians and midwives and specialist nurses.
Could you give me some background about yourself and some contact details?
I’d very much like you to write something for us and it would be good to discuss some subjects that might interest you.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me at the email address I provided.
Many best wishes
