Editorial approach
How we write health information
These pages help readers prepare for a conversation with a clinician. They cannot tell any one person what diagnosis or treatment they need.
Sources and limits
For general medical facts, we use public health and clinical sources and link to them where practical. We avoid promising that a treatment will work for everyone or describing an unconfirmed service as available.
Review before publication
Medical text should be checked by a qualified clinician before it is treated as approved advice. A page’s presence on this website is not proof of an individual medical review.
Corrections
If you spot a mistake or a broken source, email padmaliver@gmail.com with the page address and the sentence in question. We will check it and update the page if needed.
