NetWellness experts answer 20,000 questions

Mitchell Rashkin, MD, professor of internal medicine, pulmonary division, at the University of Cincinnati (UC) recently answered the 20,000th question for NetWellness through the anonymous, confidential, and free "Ask an Expert" service. "It is significant that we can provide such an outstanding public service while gaining recognition for the university," said Dr. Rashkin. "I have the opportunity to refer questions to many nationally renowned experts." NetWellness is a consumer health Web site provided by UC, The Ohio State University (OSU), and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). Nearly 200 health care faculty members from the three universities answer the public's health-related questions through the "Ask an Expert" service. Faculty members from the universities volunteer to answer questions submitted through "Ask an Expert" and respond to all valid questions within two to three days.
