Medscape A very fancy Web Journal, with excerpts from other journals, patient quizzes, news, and managed care articles.

Big OrganizationsAmerican Academy of Family Physicians Includes links to the journals American Family Physician and Family Practice Management.

Includes a nice "Intern On-Call Handbook." Pharmaceutical Information Network A compilation of drug information that tries hard to balance the drug company, researcher, and provider views. Primarily aimed at the pharmacist, but a wealth of info for physicians and physician extenders.

Could be helpful for that puzzling case...
