Find Out Everything Your Doctor Would Tell You -- If Only He Had the Time !

Can't understand your doctor's medical jargon?
Confused by your treatment options?

Whatever your medical problems , we will research your topic & provide you with customized and detailed health information, tailored to your needs. This information is free of medical jargon and easy to understand. A typical package has the following sub-sections:

  1. Back-ground information
  2. Diagnosis
  3. Treatment
  4. Leading researchers
  5. Recent Advances
  6. Useful online resources
  7. Support Groups
  8. Mailing List & Newsgroups

There are many benefits to asking us to retrieve this information for you - we can save you a lot of time, money and energy!

  1. Our familiarity with medical terms ensures that we do good quality searches. It makes a world of difference when a lay-person does a search & when a trained and experienced information researcher does the search. You could mis-spell the word, for example, so you may not get any results at all. We use synonyms and MeSH terms, and a combination of different key-words to get focussed results.

  2. While surfing the net, you may have found yourself drowning in a deluge of useless information you couldn't make sense of. We separate the wheat from the chaff for you, so you get only pertinent information on a particular topic. Our familiarity with sites dedicated to medical conditions also helps in getting far more information about a medical topic. Just doing a search on google or yahoo doesn't get you as much information as tapping different online resources. We know the urls of entire websites dedicated to conditions like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Osteoporosis and Muscular Dystrophy - and we use these intelligently to answer your queries.

  3. We can tap into commercial proprietary databases to which we subscribe, such as MDConsult ( www.mdconsult.com) , to help you find more information.

  4. It can be hard to find information about rare disorders . We recently had a patient from Melbourne who was suffering from a very rare disorder called Tarlov Cyst which developed after a car accident. When he tried finding information about Tarlov cyst from the net he got only a few articles over 3-4 years. E-mailing people from across the globe suffering from this condition got him a few more articles. But when he requested us to do the information search, we found him 161 articles on Tarlov cyst & 16 articles pertaining to his case. Knowing that Tarlov cyst is also called post-traumatic arachnoid cyst of the spine helped in getting far more articles than just searching for Tarlov Cyst.

  5. We can manage difficult searches like laser treatment for epistaxis caused by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome)

  6. Our years of experience in surfing for health information helps us in filtering the good health sites from the bad. We focus on sites which are non-commercialised & of reputed & well-known medical organisations.
