By Anita Ortega


There are so many different magazines and Internet sites offering unreliable and superficial information about human health and related topics. The result is some patients are misinformed and it might become a problem. Most doctors find patient education handouts practical and very useful help in their everyday job.

Leaflets usually contain important information about different diseases. This includes the main symptoms, risk groups, some info about available treatments and similar useful facts. There are numerous topics dedicated to proper nutrition, for example. The importance of well balanced intake of essential vitamins, minerals and fibers is very well known, but people often do not know how to balance their diets.

Some diseases can be successfully treated if recognized in time. For example, if someone loses weight unintentionally, it might be a symptom of numerous health issues, and this person should inform his doctor about it. Different symptoms often are simply ignored, and they could be very important, or even save someone's life. If people have the opportunity to read something about it in your waiting room, they might recognize some of these symptoms.

Keeping parents well-informed is the best prevention. That's why every pediatrician should have some of these valuable handouts in their waiting room.
