MediNotes is the most detailed and wide-ranging database of general
medical information yet available for the EPOC platform. It aims to list
the facts, figures, and protocols which are useful to you in your clinical
practice. By having this information on portable computer, it reduces the
need to run back to text-books or carry around scraps of paper.
Subjects covered include biochemical, haematological, and physiological
reference values, emergency protocols and procedures, notes on the use of
many drugs and infusions, conversions between various units, all sorts of
medical scales and scoring systems, and a large section on paediatric drug
doses. Elsewhere there are notes on various important aspects of Anatomy,
Physiology, Clinical Chemistry, Nutrition, Clinical Medicine, Surgery,
Radiology, Psychiatry, and even entries on general examination / viva
technique.
A free sampler version of the database is available from this website

explanations removed.
