Before you self diagnosis the pain in your back or the itch on your arm based on your online research, take a closer look at the website where you found the information. While many medical websites may be reliable, its easy to find information written by someone with no credentials or medical background whatsoever. Today on Line One, Dr. Woodard and his guest, Dr. Daniel Friedland take a close look at health information on the internet. A leader in the evidence-based medicine movement and author of Evidence-Based Medicine: A Framework for Clinical Practice, Dr. Friedland tells you the appropriate steps to take online, before you decide what steps to take regarding that itch.
