Advice on surfing for medical information
We do not recommend that you try and make a firm diagnosis from information on the internet. A doctor's diagnosis is made with the benefit of a lot of training and experience and an examination may be necessary to confirm or refute a particular diagnosis.
Remember that a lot of information on the internet has not been reviewed for it's validity and it can be difficult to check it's authenticity.
We do not recommend on-line consultations or treatments. Treatments offered may not have been subject to clinical trials and may be biased by advertising influences. While it may be tempting to buy private drugs (such as Viagra) cheaply there is no way of knowing if they are the genuine product or not.
However, the internet can be a useful source of added information if you are discerning. Your doctor would be happy to discuss any information that you may have gleaned from the internet so it can be put in the context of your individual medical condition but please don't come in with a fistful of printouts!
