I'm going to my congregation's trip away this weekend, so am still ironing and packing my clothes! I wondered then if I could share some of the websites I've found useful over the last wee while. There is a definite medical bias (which Jeanine might appreciate even if no-one else does!), but I have picked sites that I think everyone might find interesting to visit.

I am heavily involved in teaching our medical students and like to intersperse my teaching with the history of medicine. I think you learn and remember more if there are interesting stories rather than just dry facts. Find out who Dr Asperger, Dr Parkinson and Dr Raynaud were at WhoNamedIt.com or learn more about the medical discoveries that have won the Nobel Prize.

Play at being a doctor at ER-SIM, MDchoice.com, the Interactive Patient or Trauma.org. Listen to normal and abnormal hearts, then visit some cardiology patients. Learn to make diagnoses from X-rays. If you don't manage to save them, you could always do a Virtual Autopsy and work out how you killed them!

Hmm, let's hope nothing develops!
