DISCLAIMER: SOME WORDS OF CAUTION
This specialized web page was developed for my own use AND at my own
expense. It is not a comprehensive guide to health care. The scope is
limited and only a few topics are mentioned. They may not include the
most current or complete information that you need. The URL links are
shared here with other readers only as a time-saving convenience
gateway to external Internet resources.
Google and other providers have paid employees and robot programs to
keep their search indexes current. Readers will find many more links
to choose from, but validation is a reader personal responsibility.
Do remember that any data obtained from any Internet sources should be
used with caution, for initial education only. Qualify any such
information by comparison to reputable sources at official medical,
dental, hospital, legal, technical, or university libraries. Final
decisions should be made only after consultation with one or more
qualified and licensed professionals who are in GOOD STANDING in their
own communities.
As a protection against the growing problem of phisher sites I will
not add suggested links to other websites without full identification
of the individual making the request, to include real name and
telephone number. This information will not be disclosed except to
law enforcement if there is a problem. Although I screen suggested
links initially, it is impossible for me to monitor subsequent changes
to sub-links at a website.
I have been reluctant to add links suggested by email, because they
are difficult to validate and usually appear to be self-serving for
the person sending the email. Also, readers seldom report broken
links and I only find them by chance. I don't have an automated
review process.
I do not receive any compensation from any person or corporation for
any of the comments or links on this page, and absolutely no
recommendation is stated or implied.
