Health Matters: Becoming an Informed Patient*

How to decipher between facts and fiction:

When looking at any health-related information on the Internet, here are a few things you should consider:

  • Is the author of the article cited? 
  • What are his/her credentials? 
  • Are there well-documented references to medical journals/studies? 
  • Is there a date associated with the article? 
  • Are there links to other relevant/reliable web pages? 
  • Is there a way of contacting the author (ie. email, phone #, mailing address, clinic)? 
  • Does the page post a disclaimer stating to consult your physician before attempting any new treatments?

      • Netscape users: select Save Link As.
      • Opera users: click Save Link Document As.

  • Windows Defragmentation Instructions:

      1. Before you start the defragmentation process, you must close all programs. This includes those running in the background. 
      2. To do this, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
      3. From the window that appears, select one of the programs/windows open.
      4. Now click on End Task.
      5. Repeat Steps 2-4 until only Explorer is still listed.
      6. Once all but Explorer is closed, click on the Start Button.
      7. Go to Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
      8. Select the drive you'd like to defragment and click on OK.
      9. Let the computer do it's work and do not attempt to do anything else on the PC during defragmentation. It will only slow down the process.

      Reminders:

      • Back up all critical files before attempting the defragmentation process.
      • To speed up the process, try to defragment the hard drive(s) at least once a month. This will cause less clutter, thus allowing the defragmenter to do it's job more efficiently.
      • If the above instructions do not work on your PC, consult your operating system's Help files. (Start > Help > Index > Defragmenter)
