A better way to read

Use information as a starting point.

Journal articles can help you form better questions. They cannot diagnose a concern or determine whether any treatment is appropriate for you.

Bring these questions to your conversation

  • What is being addressed, and are there alternatives?
  • What are the likely benefits and important limitations?
  • What preparation and aftercare are involved?
  • What recovery time and risks should I understand?
