These explain, they do not diagnose. A video about gallstones is not a statement that you have gallstones. For anything about your own situation, ask the Health Assistant, speak to a pharmacist, or call HealthLink BC free on 811.

If something on this list is one a pharmacist in BC can assess and prescribe for, the assistant will tell you so and point you to one. Videos play in privacy-enhanced mode and we do not store what you search for.
