Dear ME-P  Readers,

As many of you know, I have been working on a health education project called House Call, MD (www.myhousecallmd.com) for the past year and a half.  The idea was born out of the numerous questions people have about their bodies and illness but are unable to have them answered. Knowledge is incredibly powerful when dealing with one’s health but is not emphasized enough in the current health care system.  Doctors are spread increasingly thin and, unfortunately, aren’t given the time to answer the many questions patients have about their conditions and treatment. 

Enter House Call MD

That’s where House Call, MD comes in.  I have recruited an outstanding team of medical professionals that are skilled with the pen (or keyboard) to translate medical knowledge and research into articles for general population. Sounds a lot like WebMD, right?  After you take a look, we hope you will think otherwise.  We’ve taken a unique approach at House Call, MD specifically because we don’t think that the WebMD’s of the world are doing the trick. What’s different about House Call, MD?

The Difference

  • Real Doctor, Real Medicine: Our articles are written by medical professionals (not reporters) and supported by published scientific research.  When we publish it, you know it’s been proven.
  • Medicine that Matters:   WebMD is great when you’ve developed a strange rash that you are attempting to self-diagnose but it’s not the best place to find riveting medical information that you’ll enjoy reading.  We bring you medicine in context.  Our articles are based on things taking place in society today.  We translate that information into straightforward take home messages you can apply to your everyday life.  Medicine you want to know about delivered in a usable way.    
  • Enjoyable Reading: It’s hard to relate to medical professionals.  They speak in a foreign language.  They not around long enough for all your questions.  Our medical professionals are different.  They listen.  They’re funny (most of the time).  They’ve been patients just like you. Most importantly, they speak in a language you can understand and will enjoy reading.
  • Multi-Disciplinary Medicine: Health is complex and multi-factorial.  As such, we’ve taken a team approach at House Call, MD, including pharmacists, dietitians, physical therapists and nurses on our staff, all of whom share their unique expertise.     

I would love your support in trying to share our unique approach to health and wellness with the world.  How can you help support House Call, MD?
