Description
Does the Internet offer anything beyond cybermalls and computer games? Is there anything out there for physicians? As Roger Smith and Margaret Edwards demonstrate here, the answer is a resounding, "YES!" This is a primer to the Internet for physicians who have little or no computer experience. Dr. Smith, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology, and Dr. Edwards, a registered nurse and professor of medical informatics, describe the Net in plain language. They address how it can be of use to the physician in practice, how to employ the Internets various tools, and which hardware and software is required. In addition, the book provides an extensive listing of Internet medical resources for both physicians and patients. Readers will find this directory - complete with descriptions of each entry - a treasure trove of the information resources available for doctors, giving them the knowledge to keep their medical practices professional, progressive, and on the cutting edge.
