Editorial Policy

This policy governs how FreeDoctor produces every page. It exists to make our process transparent and to keep our content trustworthy.

1. Facts come only from cited sources

We publish only information that appears in an official public source (NIH MedlinePlus, the FDA, PubMed, or HRSA). We do not add statistics, dosages, reference ranges, or claims from any other origin. If a fact is not in a source, it does not appear on the page.

2. Claims are attributed

Statements of fact are attributed in-line to their source so readers can judge and verify them. Each page ends with a Sources section listing every reference with a working link.

3. Automated drafting, verified output

Pages are drafted with software constrained to rephrasing source material. Before publication, an automated check extracts every number, dosage, percentage, and range from a draft and confirms each one appears in the source text. Drafts that fail are regenerated or held for manual review — never published as-is.

4. No fabricated authorship or credentials

We do not attach invented author names, medical reviewers, or credentials to any page. Where a page has been reviewed, that review is described accurately or not claimed at all.

5. Not medical advice

Our content is educational aggregation, not personalized medical advice. We prominently state this and direct readers to qualified professionals for care decisions.

6. Corrections

If you find an error, email contact@freedoctor.org. We correct verified errors promptly and update the page’s last-updated date.
