{{cquote|The information Wikipedia provided at our finger tips helped our family navigate through the medical jargon when my nephew’s vehicle was struck by a drunk driver. Being able to research and comprehend various parts of the brain allowed us to understand his Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as well as his many broken bones and nerve damage. It offered an invaluable aid in asking doctors specific question on his injuries. |
|||
I had no knowledge of TBI or peroneal nerve before his accident, but after researching Wikipedia, I had gained enough information for doctors to ask me if I had a medical background since my questions on the injuries were very specific. The knowledge I gained allowed me to find the proper treatment for my nephew. |

Wikipedia allows people to easily gain knowledge on subjects and make intelligent decisions based on what they’ve learned. It empowers people. }} |

{{cquote| I know very few people that don't turn to wikipedia to brush up, clarify, or research topics of interest. And while that by itself is magical, what is even more remarkable to me is that it actually feeds and creates curiosity. Countless times, a quick fact check turns into an hour long digression from wiki-hyperlink to wiki-hyperlink. Thanks for making recreational research a convenient hobby. }} |
