The internet is a wonderful computer tool that has revolutionized our lives. In the specific case of medicine, the abundance of information and the lack of personalized advice from a specialist can lead to misunderstanding, anxiety, and despair.
The information provided by Medicol is intended to guide you through the recovery process following the most common surgical procedures. This information enhances discussions with your specialist who is a member of Medicol. We believe that proper e-health training, such as this, for the patient, their family, and their general practitioner improves the chances of success and reduces patient stress.
For this same reason, we have omitted to describe other diseases or injuries, as well as the corresponding surgical and non-surgical treatments, which are also part of our services. The information provided above is not intended to replace the doctor-patient relationship, nor should it be used without the advice of your specialist. We disclaim all liability for results and treatment decisions made based on the information available on this site without the direct involvement of a specialist member of Medicol.
