Health Communication

Health Communication is probably one of the most important aspects of Communication. The health websites I visited are obviously very different than the websites we have been studying. These websites are extremely informational and allow viewers to learn about certain medications, prescriptions, illnesses, risks, and different forms of treatments. As informational as these websites can be, there are some downfalls. Anyone can create a website and con viewers into believing there views and take on any medical issue. There were also health chat rooms which allowed people with specific medical conditions to communicate with eachother and provide support for one another. Health communication is a great way to inform ourselves of the health risks and treatments that are available. Today it is so easy to diagnose yourself when feeling ill. With our technology one can treat themselves when a doctor may not be available with only a click of a button. I enjoyed visiting these websites and now realize how easily it is to be mislead by them.
