Editorial Process
We care about you and the people around you, so we wouldn’t want to see you being hurt in any way possible. It is our utmost responsibility to ensure the curated content found on this website is trustworthy enough to ensure you are not making a bad decision consulting it. We just want to let you understand your body better.
And we wouldn’t want you googling at 3 in the morning while being in panic mode just because you read something on our site. We would never want that in any way possible. Your safety is our priority.
Our Voice
The Commitment We Make to Our Readers
We religiously feel that healthcare communication should do no harm. We recognize that words influence how you experience healthcare, and the actions you take. Language can also motivate or stigmatize already marginalized groups. And we don’t make assumptions about people.
That’s why we use person-centered, empathetic language. It is not in our jurisdiction to judge you. We never refer to you as your health condition. Nor your disability. Nor your gender or race. Usually, we just use person-first language in reference to you. This way we try our best to honor what our readers want. Yet, since we can’t personally ask you about your preference, we kindly ask you to read our content assuming that it was written with positive intentions.
We also recognize that language is constantly evolving. So, our work in this space will never be finished. Our editorial policies are updated annually, so everything is double-checked and reviewed to keep us up-to-date with the changes in the domain.
