List of Lists
It's amazing how many sites have lists of resources on the web. Check here
for the the ones I've found.
Lindsay's List | Lots of amputee related links. |
Shriners - Springfield, MA | Lots of health and MEDLINE links. |
Direct WWW Links | Don't know the name of the source, but very good list. |
Orthopaedic Web Links (OWL) |
A huge list of orthopaedic resources. |
MEDLINE free search sites
Don't pay for MEDLINE searches like I foolishly did. Use these free search
sites instead. FYI - the only thing I've found on MEDLINE is little
abstracts.Seems like you have to pay $15-25 for a copy of the articles. A
little out of my price range.
