This was an early effort to support patients back when I was in medical practice. I
don't see patients any longer so it's really in legacy mode. As of 8/01 I did a quick
update and discovered that most of the commercial sites I referenced were extinct. So went
the great boom of 2000. Happily the US government (NLM) funds one site, and it is
excellent.
If you wish to write with clinical questions, you should know I am about two years
behind in responding to my email. Anyone sending a message should not expect a reply
within the next 18 months. [1]
