Not long ago, if you were reading an article of this type, it was safe to assume that you were holding a printed journal. Today, while some readers might have a document in hand, many are sitting in front of a computer monitor, and still others are reading on a smartphone, tablet, or other wireless device. Accordingly, as paper is replaced by pixels, readers around the world can readily access their reading material at the point of need. Yet this foray into the digital domain does not represent unalloyed progress: the Internet has provided everyone with a printing press, allowing experts, quacks, and all those in between the ability to publish medical material with at least a veneer of authority.
