Consumer Health Online for Everyone

Other than Medlineplus there many other websites on health issues that can check out on.

But don't bother googling for them, University of Michigan Health Sciences Libraries have them listed out clearly in this slideshow.

Medlineplus National Library of Medicine

Empower yourself with knowledge about your ailments before you consult your doctor by checking out Medlineplus Interactive Health Tutorials for free medical information.

I am sure this site will be very useful for parents who have children living away from them. Get your children to consult the site for their ailments so that they can decide if they need medical attention. It will also give them confidence to communicate with their doctors when they are able to use the right medical terms.

You can also do a search about the ailments you would like to know more about at Medlineplus National Library of Medicine. Here is a slideshow on how you can make use of it.
