« Medical information and resources »

Introduction

Personally, apart from the odd painkiller or antibiotic course, I don't hold with medicines. My mum was a nurse (Midwifery sister) and I once read one of her medical books. Oh yes, prescription medications are a bad thing. Notwithstanding the fact your body - and the germs too for that matter - quickly build up an immunity resulting in ever stronger doses / strains, there's the matter of side effects. Scary!

I am as far from a hypochondriac as you will ever meet, but sometimes the old joke about See, I told you I was ill on gravestones is not without merit. Anyway, this will list resources for medical dictionaries and societies dedicated to research on certain ailments. It will also look at other conditions as I come across them and/or have to deal with them.

Anyway, whether we like it or not most of us get ill sometime or other and this section deals with common and not so common ailments I have to look most for myself and, more often, for family members.


Probably wants it's own section, but for now, here's the link for the Disability Rights Commission
