I believe  that the more you know about  health care issues, the better you will be able to prevent and  manage  these problems.  The HealthTalk blog will allow me to discuss  current  medical and health care developments  quickly and efficiently.  It will give  me the chance  to address current  issues and  help make them relevant  for the health  of you and your family.  In some cases this  will mean alerting you to  potential problems.  In other cases,  the blog will  take  the alarm out of a troubling news story. 

The current of focus of HealthTalk will be on colds and flu as well as the other respiratory issues. When spring comes, I will start to cover developments in allergies, starting with a guide to help you decide if your  symptoms are caused by a cold or allergy. As time goes by, I will cover a wide range of health topics as future “Good Doctor Guides” are published. If  want to ask questions or share concerns, HealthTalk can be reached at Neil@gooddoctor1.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
