How articles are made
Articles are researched and drafted with AI tools from the sources each one cites: clinical guidelines, drug labels, research papers, clinical reference chapters such as StatPearls, public-health agency pages such as MedlinePlus, and patient-information pages from medical centers. Joseph edits and publishes them. Citing an organization does not mean it has reviewed or endorsed the site.
Articles are not yet medically reviewed by a licensed medical professional. See How We Review for how articles are put together and what has not been done yet.
