| Health-Minder
software organizes family health records of illnesses, tests,
treatments, and presecriptions. When a family member has an illness, or is
prescribed a new medication or treatment, you may want to find out more about it so that
you can ask better questions of your health care providers. Health-Minder has a
built-in database of hundreds of telephone and Internet addresses pertaining to all sorts
of health topics. This database of health resources provides a valuable tool in
educating yourself about nutrition, preventative measures, or an illness of a family
member. By calling the number or visiting the web site, you can find the name of a
physician who is an expert in your problem, or the contact for a support group, or the
latest research news. Most importantly, you can add to this database as you do your
own research. Before you evaluate the
information in a medical journal article or health research report (either in print on on
the Internet) you may find it very worth while to read the informative article How to Read A Medical Journal Article by
Steve Simon of Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO.
