How MedStory News Reports

Health information online is noisy, and too much of it is written by people with no clinical training at all. MedStory News exists to push in the other direction: every piece we publish is grounded in the direct experience of a qualified healthcare provider, not a general assignment writer guessing at a subject, and not an algorithm inventing one.

Who writes for us

Every contributor is a practicing or credentialed healthcare professional writing from their own clinical experience. We do not publish anonymous commentary or unverified sources. Each article is attributed to a named physician or provider, along with their specialty, so readers always know exactly whose expertise and experience they are reading.

How we handle quotes and claims

Every article is built directly from that contributor’s own words and the specific context they provide. Quotes are never invented or paraphrased into something a contributor did not actually say, and claims of fact are never introduced from outside the material a contributor supplies. Before publication, every piece goes through a dedicated verification pass that checks quotes against the original source and confirms that no detail, statistic, or claim in the piece goes beyond what the contributor actually said.

Why this matters to us

Misinformation about health spreads fastest when it sounds confident and reads well, regardless of whether it is true or who is actually behind it. We think the antidote is not to write less confidently, it is to make sure the confidence is earned: real providers, speaking from real experience, checked carefully before anything goes live. Good storytelling and rigorous accuracy are not in tension for us. We treat them as the same job.

Corrections
