Bring a proposal or a claim you want examined. Write down who made it, what it was meant to justify, and what you think it rests on. A short note is enough.

The form on this page is a place to lay that note out, but its messages are not delivered. Nothing you type reaches the wire, so keep your draft and carry it to the clinician who made the proposal.

What the wire weighs in on

The wire's pages set a claim beside published guidance, name the assumption underneath it, and suggest a question you can ask. Background pages that help you do the same with your own note include an overview of spider veins, the MedlinePlus varicose and spider veins topic page, and a patient guide to varicose veins.

What it leaves alone

The wire does not diagnose, recommend a treatment, or stand in for the clinician who has examined you. Questions about your own care belong with your own clinician, and the wire's part is to help you prepare them.
