The internet continues to shape how many of us obtain essential information to assist us in making many important life decisions. For health care related information, the internet is an invaluable tool for both physicians and families alike. However, we must remind ourselves; this medium can also be a large source of medical misinformation. Remember to always consider the source of the information you are reading and never forget that a dialogue between yourself and your health care provider is still the best source of information for you and your child.-
