If you're going to go digital for medical information, try using a health website.
Both doctors and nurses say they trust health websites over any other medical reference, according to a recent survey conducted by digital health communications firm Enspektos. Most doctors, nurses and pharmacists surveyed (about 85 percent of each group) all said they look at health websites for information frequently.
Doctors (at 78 percent) are most trusting of the sites than nurses (69 percent).
