General Medicine Feature Writer: Wendy Anne Makhdum Prosser

General Medicine is the broadest of all Health & Wellness topics, and for good reason. Here you will find authoritative articles on the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of a huge range of disorders affecting every part of the body – from cancer to diabetes, from asthma to chronic fatigue syndrome, from acne to Alzheimer's disease. Health education is covered here too, together with advice on first aid, coping with chronic illness and vaccinations.

Whatever your interest in health care, General Medicine is the place to come for information, insight and good sense.
