Behind the (Often Alarmist) Medical News

The UK Health Service site, Behind the Headlines, is an excellent resource for calm and understandable health information — making sense of alarmist news stories.

Also, do read Dr. Alica White’s “How to read articles about health and healthcare” (pdf). Great advice.
