Health information sites

I’m no expert when it comes to the world of medical terms, and that’s understandable since I took a different field of study. But when my Mom got hospitalized twice, I was suddenly bombarded with an avalanche of medical words that left me so confused. Thanks to my cousin who’s a nurse, she really helped a lot in explaining about some of those weird terms and those medicines with Greek-sounding names. Since then, I tried to familiarize myself with medical terms such as seizure, hypertension, and even some new ones like hyponatremia.

After Mom’s scheduled visits to the doctor, I would browse the web for more details on the medicines being prescribed. Then I would browse on health information sites which had truly been a big help for me in understanding more of my Mom’s sickness. I would spend hours reading lots of topics ranging from health and fitness, to skin care and eating healthy.

Anyway, I chanced upon a new website which aims to provide resources for medical health information. One of its articles ‘Tips To Lose Weight’ is quite helpful for those weight-conscious individuals. There are other interesting articles posted like having a LASIK eye surgery, depression treatments and even health insurance plans. There’s a link to recently viewed items which is a good reminder for readers and a list of popular articles or hot topics. The site design still needs a lot of improvement though, more categories are needed and it would create more impact with visually enhanced pages.
