Your Medical Mind

Making the right medical choices is harder than ever. Whether we\'re deciding to take a cholestrol drug or choosing a cancer treatment, we are overwhelmed by information from all sides: our doctors recommendations, dissenting expert opinions, confusing statistics, conflicting media reports, the advice of friends, claims on the Internet, and a never-ending stream f drug company ads. Your Medical Mind shows us how to chart a clear path through this sea of problems.
