The
DiagKNOWsis Family of Websites
In 2004, Trisha
Torrey
suffered a horrible cancer misdiagnosis.
Instead of filing lawsuits or simply blaming
others, she founded DiagKNOWsis: this
website which would help other patients
learn how to empower themselves to make
better informed and wiser choices about
their medical care.
Today DiagKNOWsis has
blossomed into a group of services which
continue to provide assistance to patients,
based on the feedback and lessons learned in
these ensuing years.
Listed below are
those internet-based resources that are now
part of the DiagKNOWsis family of patient
empowerment activities:
DiagKNOWsis.org |
DiagKNOWsis
Empowers patients
with the internet tools needed
to make tough medical decisions.
Includes links to helpful
websites for diseases,
conditions, treatments, and help
with medical terminology,
patient safety, drug information
and more. |
