LIFEDRIVEDOC.COM: Whoa! FREE PEDIATRICS TEXTBOOK

Welcome

Lifedrivedoc.com began as a place to talk about the Lifedrive. It soon became apparent that it was much more than that. Since moving on from my Lifedrive, I am engaged in more avenues of technology. That technology has intersected with my professional life - Medicine as well as my social life.

As noted above, the blog is about a lot of things in relation to technology. If you are looking for Lifedrive related material, I am currently dividing the blog so that those searches will be easy for you to find. Most of them will be pre 2007, that should help. Additionally, if you are looking for the links that used to be on the left border. They will be back up in a different format soon. I do enjoy reading about new things to do with the Lifedrive, so you can feel free to let me know about those. I will also post those on the site.

Whoa! FREE PEDIATRICS TEXTBOOK

Whoa! Stop the presses! Could this be correct? Well, as I perused the Universe looking for a Pediatric document, I ran into this web site. The University of Hawaii's professors have put together an online Textbook with questions and answers at the end of each chapter.

If you are a Family Physician, Midlevel provider or Medical student looking for some basic information in regards to in-hospital or outpatient Pediatrics, this is is a wonderful online source.

So confident is this group that they have made the hefty document available online in a Word document and pdf file format. Or can you say "Lifedrive compatible" and "iPhone compatible" file respectively :) ?

The data is spot-on, at least for many of the basic cases. The interactive introduction to a case, followed by a detailed response, with a basic medicine lesson taught in the interim, is especially nice. To top it off, there is a question and answer session at the end. Very Socratic!

I think this is a great addition to any Palm Device. It would fit perfectly in a Treo with either Documents or Mobi Office attached.

Kudos and many thanks to the professors at the University of Hawaii for sharing this wonderful gift. It is obvious that a lot of work has gone into this and making it available for everyone is truly wonderful.

LDD.
