A report from IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, a medical technology company that draws on data from more than 100,000 suppliers and 45 billion health care transactions each year, finds that Wikipedia is the single leading source of medical information for patients and healthcare professionals.

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. But I would still consult a doctor after looking up for health related info on Wiki. You can never be too sure when it comes to health issues unless they are experts on said matter. Anyway, I hope that you can suggest websites where people have expert insights on healthcare related issues. Thank you for sharing!

    I'm often asked to share useful fitness news and tips that I come across. And maybe some of my own opinions. :-)
