After reading my yesterday’s post, Naina from Jagadhari, Haryana, India asked a question to me
” Can I ask a medical question here?”. While I replied to Naina sparately, I decided to take this issue and clarify it to all of you.
This website is meant for answering your queries.
Yes! You can ask any medicine and health related question.
I am in process of forming a panel of health experts which would help us to solve user’s problems.
Each of your question is first reviewed by me and if I could answer, I do.
If I think an expert opinnion is required, I would forward that medical question to the respective expert.
I usually answer within few to 72 hours. Experts may take more time.
The process would be streamlined once we start rolling.
I look forward to your queries.

Hi! I am Dr Arun Pal Singh. I am an orthpaedic surgeon and owner of this domain name.
In 2008, I started this website in order to provide answers to the common problems that patients and health care workers face everyday.
Most of the problems start with ‘ What is…..?”
My main purpose was to address these queries.
I started well but then I found myself short of time. And therefore I decided to delegate the job to few trusted friends.
They ran it well and added beautiful content.

I tried to pass my vision but I think I failed in that.
Therefore, finally I decided to handle everything myself.
You would see changes in the type of content here.
I welcome your comments and feedback.
