Information is power. I don't know who first said it, but this little 3 word sentence packs a wallop!

Nowhere in our lives is information more important than when it comes to making health care decisions. Everything from who is the best doctor to treat my condition to what hospital has the best results for the surgery I need. I spend a great deal of time searching for good sources of "medical information" and would like so share my list of the TOP 10 sources of medical information with you:

1. The Centers for Disease Control.

2. WebMD.com.

3. Revolution Health.

4. EveryDayHealth.

5. ConsumerMedSafety.org.

6. WhyNottheBest.org.

7. VisualDxHealth.com.

8. QualityHealth.com.

9. Healthline.com.

10. The Merck Manuals.

That is a great post. Most trial attorneys are successful because they want to help people. We understand that making consumers aware does not mean less business - there is plenty to go around. In fact, trial attorneys who subscribe to this sentiment join in despising those in our profession who put their self interest ahead of their client's interests. I would hope that the good folks in every profession would feel that way about the bottom feeders they share credentials with.
