There have been so many changes in the state of health and healthcare around the world. We, as nurses and the general public, have had to struggle with COVID, Monkeypox, and changes in legislation that greatly affects healthcare. We have had to make many health decisions. Thanks to the abundance of health information found on and through the media, we have been bombarded with health information, accurate and inaccurate. The arrival of the internet and “Dr. Google” has been a help as well as a source of increasing confusion. Have you been confused?
