This is PediCast.

Welcome to Pediacast, a pediatric podcast for parents.

And now, direct from the campus of nationwide children's, here is your host, Dr. Mike.

Hello everyone and welcome.

Once again to Pediacast.

It is a pediatric podcast for moms and dads.

This is Dr. Mike coming to you from the campus of nationwide children's hospital.

We're in Columbus, Ohio.

It is episode 425 for March 6th, 2019.

We're calling this one paging Dr. Google, tips for finding the best medical information online. I want to welcome all of you to the program. I have a really important Pediacast episode for you today. And I know, I say that often.

Like, hey, this is a really good one. We've got great information for you. But this one, I will say,

is perhaps the most important episode that I've ever done. And that's saying a lot since I've recorded, what, we're up to

425, so there's 424 other episodes over the past 12 and a half years. It's a lot of content.

But if you had to pick just one episode to listen to, at least up to this point,

this would be the one.

And I'll tell you why that is.

You know, I spend a lot of time putting these shows together.

And my goal has always been, and it always will be, to improve health literacy among parents. And the thinking goes

like this. If as parents, we can better understand the science underlying health and wellness

concerns, the science behind the prevention efforts that we recommend, the treatment protocols

that we do, you know, what it is that we're

recommending, the more that you understand those things, you know, then the symptoms make sense.
