“Dr. Galson has achieved a few important things in his brief tenure as surgeon general. He has made some solid inroads on eradicating childhood obesity. And he has revised and upgraded the tool available online that allows each of us to record our family medical history.
The new tool is impressive. It tracks all the right relatives, with all the necessarily recorded diseases, creates not just a list, but a family map, too, and since it doesn’t get tracked or saved on the website, it’s private. Yes, there are two or three points that might be nice to have, but this tool is free, convenient and actually very interesting when you print out the map.”
