Abstract
Preservation of health requires a combination of quality medical care and informed, preventive lifestyle choices. To patients, medical conditions and associated procedures are complex and the terminology is often difficult to understand. Patients are increasingly using Internet resources to supplement health care knowledge. A survey from 2006 estimated that 98 million American adults have used the Internet to find health care information.1Keywords
