Actually I think providing dosage information would *avoid* much more harm
than it would cause.
Most people use books on drugs to check up on their prescriptions and
educate themselves.
If the doctors mistakenly prescribed 200mg tablets when the standard dosage
is 20mg, then I'm sure you'd want the person to be able to know that.
I would hope the pharmacist that filled the prescription would spot
something like that. I'm not sure people second guessing their doctors
will have a net benefit...
Agreed. Imagine second-guessing the *other* way round.
I was more concerned to read that nurses in hospitals were using Wikipedia.
