Choosing Wisely is a health campaign which seeks to share health information with patients and health care providers.

This project shares information from the American Society of Echocardiography on Wikipedia.

Notes

One change here was the target of vandalism. Someone registered an account, added the word "not" to a a Choosing Wisely statement which should not have had it, and then never edited with that account again. The problem has been fixed.
