Finding Top Doctors

Hi All,

Just in case you need one - hopefully you won't though - click on this link to a 'database' from Newsday that helps you find top doctors on Long Island.

Users can find doctors in various subspecialities like  Allergy/Immunology, Cardiovascular Disease, Colon and Rectal Surgery, Endocrinology/Diabetes/Metabolism, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Infectious Disease, Neurological Surgery, Opthamology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Pathology, Pulmonary Disease, Rheumatology, Sports Medicine, Surgery, Urology and more. Information comes from the CastleConnolly website through Newsday.com

Users would be well served by visiting this link from the American Medical Association as well.  This site is similar to the Newsday site in that it lists doctors, their credentials, medical school attended and more.  Also, there is no registration required - just a simple logon which is not very onerous to fill out.

Hopefully you won't need either of these sites, but if you do...they are there!

Regards - and have a good rest of the weekend.

Surgery Videos!

 

Hi All,

Yesterday I posted about the field of biology and the various directions that this college major can take you...well, today's post is an extension of that post.

Today I'm linking to surgery videos online from MedlinePlus - a service of the National Institute of Health and the National Library of Medicine.  Trust me when I say that these videos are the tip of the iceberg for surgery videos.  Amazing material can be found online.  But first, the link to the surgery videos from MedlinePlus can be found by clicking on this link.

Videos are organized by topic: specifically by 'Blood-Heart-Circulation', 'Bones-Joints-Muscles', 'Brain-Nerves', 'Cancers', 'Children-Teenagers', 'Diabetes', 'Digestive System', 'Ear-Nose-Throat', 'Endocrine System', 'Eye-Vision', 'Female Reproductive System', 'Fitness-Exercise', 'Genetics-Birth Defects', 'Immune System', 'Injuries-Wounds', 'Kidneys-Urinary System', 'Lungs-Breathing', 'Male Reproductive System', 'Metabolic Problems', 'Mouth-Teeth', 'Pregnancy-Reproduction', 'Seniors', 'Sexual Health Issues', 'Surgery-Rehabilitation', 'Transplantation-Donation', 'Wellness-Lifestyle' and 'Women'.  What an amazing array of material available - for free - on this website.
