: : Since you are all health care information consumers yourself, how do you usually find out about health care information you need to know. What do you think about the different information modes of receiving health care consumer information? What's your favorite and least favorite methods?
: My favorite method of receiving healh care information is by word of mouth. I like to hear of other peoples experiences beforeI try something myself. While this method may not be the most accurate way to get information, I take that into consideration. Currently I am looking for a nursing home for my Grandmother and I value the judgement of other nurses that I associate with. I also respect their opinions of various medical procedures my father may be considering.
This is not a criticism of what you have said, but I would like you to consider that misinformation can be given as the "gospel" and before you know it the miss information is believed as the truth and the correct information is never accepted as the truth.
