Improve Your Own Healthcare

I'm a pre-med college student on the road to becoming a physician and want to help empower others in their healthcare needs along the way. Surgery is the area in which I am most interested. Most importantly, I am here to help you but also to learn more of the surgical field myself within my present focus of surgical recovery concerns. If I cannot determine an academic answer to your question, I will find out from a creditable physician and/or pharmacist.

The RateADrug link above, a company for which I am currently interning, provides you access to a rapidly growing, user-generated database on medications, side effects and alternative treatments. However, this database addresses the efficacy of all drugs, not just ones related to surgical procedures. Please explore this site and evaluate your own treatment plan (more links to the right) by taking a survey of your medication and then comparing (please reference me at end of survey: Amber, your PPREP intern). So let's get started!

I'll begin posting my own findings on surgical recovery treatments, and you start jumping in with questions, comments, and/or contradictions! Let the improved healthcare begin...
