Comment on WebMD forcing employees back to office. "We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point. We’re informing"

  The best thing to happen from WebMD is you got a bunch of actual medical providers like Mayo Clinic, University of Maryland, Merck Manual that went, “GAH! No!!” and made actually informative, updated medical websites.

  Healthline, kids. Healthline is where we go for our medical information.

    Surprisingly stubby Wiki! “Reception” section pretty weak. Surprised they haven’t fleshed their page out. Why do you trust them?

      Because I think quality of presentation is not being factored into the assessments you’re seeing on that wiki.

      I tend to recommend Healthline to the public because it clearly targets a lay audience, and chooses to meet that audience where they live. It’s written the way I talk to my patients, and the information is accurate and accessibly easier to read.

      Just look at the difference between the pages on hypertension from Healthline and MedlinePlus.gov:

      healthline.com/…/high-blood-pressure-hypertension

      medlineplus.gov/highbloodpressure.html

      The details and accuracy of the information is not different. But the way Healthline presents it is so much more accessible.

        Thanks :-)

        Glad to know the marketing company who owns them (and Bankrate, I see) is doing a good job!

  I’m surprised it’s an actual business with employees, and not some fat dude in his basement.

    A fat dude in his basement would be more helpful than WebMD
