A patient visits her doctor for an annual checkup. She is very nervous about the visit, although she does not have any specific symptoms or complaints. The patient has a pile of papers printed from all corners of the Internet, each containing information on an illness she fears she has. The doctor listens to the patient’s complaints and, after a full workup, declares that she is perfectly healthy. But the doctor does provide the patient with one piece of information: a short list of reputable websites to visit in the future for any health concerns and a checklist for judging the reliability of any other site.
