I've started using it lately. I've been very impressed. I am shocked to see people using wikipedia at work when we have, no shit, access to
ClinicalKey
UpToDate
Micromedex
AccessMedicine
Lexicomp
and a online access to a zillion journals for free.
It's funny, I remember carrying a backpack to work so that I had
Washington Manual
Merck Manual
The ICU Book
A nurse's IV compatibility book----Everything is compatible in anesthesia, I came to learn.
Calculator----we shot cardiac outputs via ice saline--thermodilution---sent a mixed venous and and abg--
we then calculated all of the parameters with a calculator using a laminated card on our ID badge with all the formulas. Then we hand wrote them on the flowsheet.
The point of this thread is to mention some online resources and learn about the others that you guys use.
Now, here is the question---if you are coming out of pocket for a subscription, which one would you choose or have chosen, and tell us your specialty.
