I typed in EMedicine and it brought up Medscape Reference, which I have used a fair amount. Yes, I prefer doctor ones, too. The patient ones are not only patronizing, but dumbed down a lot. Yes, I know 'there are treatments available', I want to know what the treatments are and what the side effects of the treatments are etc. For instance, I had a hell of a time finding out what actually *happens* to a person who gets a renal transplant. Yes, I know 'You will feel improvement'. Kinda figured that out.

I don't really have any databases; when I want something I have to really search. Occasionally I'll go wander through the archive of The New England Journal and look at the case history things. Those are fun. News.Medicalnet is sometimes interesting. The problem is, most sites want you to either pay to get in or be a doctor- or both. Poo.
