Bravo to Linda Smith for setting a good example about going to the med
library and reading the original research.  And for describing how to use
the Internet.  I subscribe to Medpulse, and find that useful.  Pediatrics is
on-line, as are most of the other medical journals.  A lot of LCs are
readers, which is good for the profession, as new stuff comes down the pike
all the time.  We must stay current, and our practice must be a blend of
research based science, and perfected craft from observing outcomes
carefully.
