Information provided by Georgia Perimeter College Library and its employees has been gathered from a variety of consumer health resources. This information should not be interpreted as medical or professional advice. All medical information should be reviewed with your physician or other health care professional.
Georgia Perimeter College Library and Librarians intended to provide you with comprehensive information. You may find some resources that provide information that is different in opinion from that of your physician or health care provider. Should any questions arise, please consult with your physician or healthcare provider for clarification about how this information may or may not apply to your unique clinical situation or overall health.
The information provided in this website is offered for general informational and educational purposes only; it is not offered as and does not constitute medical advice.

Georgia Perimeter College staff do not provide medical advice to patients, nor provide referrals to healthcare practitioners.
[The disclaimer may serve many purposes, and I wish to distinguish two related purposes. On the one hand, librarians and library organizations and institutions do not wish to be held legally responsible for practicing medicine without a license. On the other hand, and directly connected with (and the rationale for) the first, as caring people who happen to be librarians and certainly as professionals in a service industry, we sincerely and responsibly want people to obtain not only reliable health information but also appropriate health care from the professionals who can properly provide that care.]
