admin 4 Helpful Healthcare Communities
We 60s Folks need to have more than just a cursory understanding of our health and what to do to restore and retain it. Sure we need to trust our doctors. The truth is it is difficult to get advice from the docs without being charged for their time and whatever else they want to flog to to us.
We will be given more medications than any generation. What do we really know about the meds. the healer in white wants us to take? Were do we get advice?
We’ve lived long enough to see a medication touted as a God send, safe just to see it taken of the market a year later because it has done more harm than good. There are also more treatments for each diseases than there has ever been. How do we know the right one fo us?
We cannot afford to believe, much less trust, all of our health input to one person, no matter how qualified he or she might be. How do we get more than one opinion?
Social Media (you know blogs, facebook, twitter and the like) offer us a excellent widow into communities of patients and medical professionals who have experience to share concerning all medications, treatments, and preventative healthcare regimes. Look through them. I predict you will find some communities that are discussing something of great interest to you.
