Also, it is not available off campus. <BR/><BR/>Another really good web resource (free!) is emedicine. As for Harrison's, sure, we 21st century med students use it all the time. You attendings do know that Harrison's is available on line through Access Medicine, right??? :-)CCLCM Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684828641910166209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-30918030387564809912008-10-28T15:18:00.000-04:002008-10-28T15:18:00.000-04:00I find Harrison Practice to be an excellent sourse...I find Harrison Practice to be an excellent sourse, brief and as uptodate as Uptodate is : ) Not to mention the $$$$ attached to Uptodate. <BR/>And an Uptodate user wouldnt that be called a <I>homo unius computeri</I>? ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950461483209910945noreply@blogger.com
