Health information

Health information that respects your intelligence

Clear, referenced health and medical information, written without either condescension or false certainty.

IWhat we do

Three things, done properly.

i

Explained clearly

Conditions, tests and treatments in plain language, without talking down.

ii

Referenced

Sources cited so you can check them and take them to an appointment.

iii

Honest about uncertainty

Where the evidence is genuinely mixed, saying so rather than picking a side for readability.

This is information, not medical advice

Nothing here replaces a consultation with a qualified health practitioner who knows your history.

IIWhat goes wrong

The two failures we see most.

We publish these because most of the value in hiring anyone is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.

Certainty that is not there

Health writing that presents contested evidence as settled is the most common failure in the genre, and the most consequential.

Advice detached from context

General information cannot account for your history or medications, which is exactly what changes the answer.

IIIHow we work

We tell you what we find.

Including when the answer is that you do not need what you came to ask for. Anyone who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.

Scope

Where something needs a legal opinion, a financial audit or a clinical judgement, we will say so and stop rather than improvise past the edge of what we do.

Start a conversation.

Tell us the situation rather than the service you think you need. We would rather start from your problem.
