A Complete health portal. Review on Doctorndtv

DoctorNDTV.com is a very good health portal and here is why it is...

The Target audience:

There hasn't been any good website that was solely developed for the people residing in the sub-continent. Medical awareness is very less in the sub-continent and it is necessary to have portals of these kind to divulge important medical information that most of the doctors do not. The target is India but the contents of the website are relevant to the planet.

What does one find here?

I won't say everything under the sky. But, to my knowledge they've not left any coin unturned. Ailments that are less prevalent in India are given minimum coverage where as those that are not uncommon have been analysed in depth. Your doc gave you some medication for some ailment. You're not sure whether you're eating the right medication. You can very well search the database(its called MEDictionary) and see what your particular class of drug is for and side-effects. I checked this with lots of medication and they were all true!

Any nice-to-have features?

Yep... lots. You can ask any question under the sun and there are hell lot of medical practitioners out there to help you in the most professional way. You can make use of those answers as a starting point for your treatment with your doctor. Do I have to pay any premium for this service? No Sir(Madam). This is absolutely free!

Interesting... tell me more

Well, the website is updated regularly with latest news and updates(Find news about SARS and myths!). Interesting polls are conducted and they un-earth interesting facts. And of course, what use is an health-portal without anything on fitness? DoctorNDTV has lots of information on fitness and they have their own recipe-center for calorie-free diets. Now, DoctorNDTV is also available in NDTV 24x7 television channel.

and... no Cons at all?

There are and what a reviewer I am if I don't find one! 1. The website is slow at times. 2. Searching for some information consumes more time. 3. For such a big site, there's no site map. Not many... really. So, go visit the site and improve your MQ (Medical Quotient)!
