I kinda like EMedicine's database for Actual Doctors. I prefer doctor ones to the patronizing ones written for patients, since most of them wind up saying "Get to a doctor" right when it's about to get interesting.
I've also got a ridiculous book about trauma for writers by a doctor who fancies himself a writer, which is more entertainment value than real help. He tries to make it legitimately For Writers by adding in advice about how you could use what he's telling you to make interesting characters, but the advice falls pretty flat. He'd be a terrible writer. I was a bit bummed out that it doesn't go into more detail, but it does have a great illustrtion of how a bullet can ricochet through a body. I'd be surprised if that illustration hadn't shown up as a CSI graphic at some point.

What about your own databases?
