Quick answer

Quick answer

How is healthcare written about on this site?

As general education, never as diagnosis or prescription. Content explains ideas plainly, separates what is established from what is debated, names limits and uncertainty, avoids promises of cure or dramatic claims, and repeatedly points readers to a qualified and registered practitioner who can examine them.

What you will find here, and what you will not

  • General explanations of concepts, written plainly
  • Clear separation between education and personal advice
  • Honest statements of uncertainty and limits
  • Encouragement to consult a qualified practitioner in person
  • Promises of cures or guaranteed results
  • Advice to stop or replace prescribed treatment
  • Diagnosis, prescription or dosage for any reader
  • Fear based claims or miracle stories

Why the rules are strict

A person reading about health is often worried, and worry makes confident writing persuasive in a way that is not always deserved. Anyone writing publicly about medicine is therefore writing for someone who may act on it immediately. That is the reason for the disclaimers, the referral reminders and the refusal to answer personal clinical questions by message, however reasonable the question sounds.

It is also why claims about debated subjects are worded as questions being studied rather than as settled facts, and why nothing on this site is offered as proven treatment.

Corrections

If something here is inaccurate, out of date or misleading, Rohit would like to know. Corrections are welcome through the contact page and are made openly, with the update date shown on the page or article.

Questions

Questions about responsible health communication

Can I ask a personal health question by email?

Please do not. Rohit cannot assess personal health concerns by message or through this website. See a registered practitioner in person, and for urgent symptoms go to the nearest emergency department or call 112 in India.

Why are debated topics discussed at all?

Because study of a contested question is honest work, as long as the writing is clear that it is contested and makes no claim of proven benefit.

A short message with some context is the best way to start.
