Medical
A tool to help you find and talk to your doctor, not a replacement for one.

Look It Up
Free: type a term you heard at the hospital or saw on a bill and get a plain-English definition.
Triage Wizard
Pick a broad complaint and read the same trace-back reasoning Zach runs at the bedside — not a diagnosis, a way to understand what's probably going on before deciding where to go.
Go Get This Checked
The symptom clusters that make an ER triage nurse's brain say "stop, go get that checked" — written down, with the reassurance side so it doesn't just become a new source of anxiety.
Insurance Basics & Fighting Bills
How insurance actually works, why the bill is bigger than it needs to be, and the five steps for disputing one — from someone who works inside the system.
Being an Informed Patient
The medical history card, the questions to ask at a diagnosis, how to read your own chart and labs, and the patient rights people forget they have.
PCP vs. Urgent Care vs. ER
Which door to walk through, why skipping steps doesn't get you better care, and how the hospital ecosystem is actually built.
Emergency Literacy
When to call an ambulance, what an ambulance is (and isn't), the red flags that mean go now, and the first-response basics before EMS arrives.
Advance Planning & Glossary
Advance directives, healthcare power of attorney, HSAs and FSAs — plus a plain-English glossary of the terms that keep tripping people up.
