Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I do realize that. my point was to let the ones that go to Shands know some of their information. I am impressed with the site.I also do know what Wikipedia is.

While often you may find excellent information there, it isn't expert or reviewed necessarily by those most knowledgeable. I would still go with more informed sources when possible. Unfortunately, I just followed one of the links from their site to Wikipedia and there is quite a bit of questionable information on that page. So, just realize when you click the links, you are no longer getting information from Shands. > > Group I have been looking at the newest site hands has for ILD and am > impressed-- yea I have been there 5 years now.. still learning. > Anyhow there is such good information for any questions you may have. > The FAQ section is good. here is the link. > > http://ild.medicine.ufl.edu/index.shtml > > > Love & Prayers, Peggy > Florida, IPF/UIP 2004 > > "I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet, > when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." > > >  > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Bruce are you saying there is questionable information from Shands... I certainly hope not... wikipedia info given was approved by the well educated Doctors at Shands and would NOT give links that would be wrong information to patients... I think I am a little POed at you for this but since I am getting tight in my chest.. all I want to say is you do not know more than theydo. I get so upset with you because you always have neg. stuff about our Doctors.. I'm done now and will not take any reply..

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Peggy I said nothing negative about anything on the Shands site. I did however note that the FAQ links take you away from Shands to sites like Wikipedia. I did advise against anyone taking things published on Wikipedia as absolute fact and instead depending on information from sites like Mayo or Cleveland Clinic or others who have information. I am surprised the links don't have the normal disclaimer that " you are leaving our site and we are not responsible for the material on the third party site you are visiting. " If it was information written by Doctors at Shands I would not be making these comments. I did go look at Shands site and then followed each of the links. None of us have any idea who wrote the Wikipedia pages or most recently made changes to them. I find 90% of whats on Wikipedia to be useful, but there is always that other part that can be dangerous. The links to sites like medlineplus I would find far more trustworthy. > > > > Group I have been looking at the newest site hands has for ILD and am > > impressed-- yea I have been there 5 years now.. still learning. > > Anyhow there is such good information for any questions you may have. > > The FAQ section is good. here is the link. > > > > http://ild.medicine.ufl.edu/index.shtml > > > > > > Love & Prayers, Peggy > > Florida, IPF/UIP 2004 > > > > " I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet, > > when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
