medical sights

In case you needed to do some research involving your personal health, or someone close to you, here are some good places to start.
WebMD is a good place to go for general information about the medical problem. Also, it is a useful link for researching a prescription drug. Additionally, the site provides a list of local physicians in case a person is in need of one.
Another online site to turn to for explanation or help is Medhelp.org. In addition to online databases this site includes an ask a doctor function, which allows you to ask a doctor about a medical question one might have (duh). Questions are posted and answered in an open forum. And no worries, the site also provides background information on the doctors who are answering the questions.

After visiting both of those sites you might need a medical dictionary to understand some of the terminology. I know I did.
