Medical Forum / General / General / July 2007Electronic Medical Libraries, It Is really Great!
Information technology and especially the Internet have changed the ways of publishing. Newspapers, magazines have for years been published online and all kinds of texts are now available in digital form Electronic books - or e-books - can now be bought and downloaded from various kinds of e-bookstores on line. E-books can be read on different handheld multipurpose devices like PDAs, pocket-PCs and laptops. In my PDA I have many Medical books & Dictionaries. It Is really Great! That really is something, but I don't know where you're from. I'm a medical student from Romania and I can tell you that I can't even dream about buying a PDA. The on-line books are great but if the information cannot be viewed or used unless you pay for it it's a major setback at least for me (and I think also for many other medical students from Romania). I understand that those books were written with significant effort (Both financial and intellectual) but i think that making medical information free on the internet will be a major step forward in the increase of medical knowledge (in quantity but also in quality) for students, doctors and even patients.I only use the free web resources because I cannot afford to pay for the rest. > That really is something, but I don't know where you're from.

Hello Mr. Laur I am Syrian Orthopedic specialist working in Saudi Arabia ,It was impossible for me also to buy when I was student, But now after working it is easy . I remember in my residency days in the orthopedic department when I wanted to buy the textbook (Campbell's Operative Orthopedics) I rent 15000 Syrian bounds from the bank to book and I pay every month 500 Syrian bounds for 3 years ,my salary was only 4500 Syrian bounds . At that time there was on computers around and it was default for us to translate and to find information but now I think it is the golden era for medical student ,medical student now is connected to internet so he/she can get whatever he wont of information very easy. also there is translating programs to his native language and there is reading programs (like http://www.readplease.com/) and if he can have a PDA so it well be great. You can look for second hand PDA ,here (http://www.friday-ad.co.uk/ Class/1221/Web/SearchResults.asp).

Thank you very mach Hi doctor, I know you can buy books easily when you're a doctor but during the university years it's very hard. I know that the Internet is a major source of information and it's great just to type what you want to know and find it. But one of my teachers (he is a cardiovascular surgeon) told us that in a way searching information in a book was more challenging and interesting because you couldn't find the information as quickly as you can find it on the internet, and you had to browse lots of books before you could find it. Doing that you came upon other information that you didn't necessarily need at that time but that were interesting and you would remember them for a long time. Of course, searching information on the internet saves a lot of time and that's great. I was curious how much do the amounts you told me in Syrian bounds mea translated in dollars or euro? I hope I'm not to indiscreet.

Apparently your instuctor has never heard of an index (g). Go to the back of the book, look for the term you need, and go to that page. No big deal. It seems like you are being taught how to waste your time while your patient suffers, at least to me. > In article <1180516752.293136.65...@p77g2000hsh.googlegroups.com>, Perhaps he hasn't heard about indexes. He is very old and he was talking about the days when he was a student. Now I am in a Orthopedics clinic in a stage and I have a 9 year old boy with left femoral head epiphisiolysis. I was wondering if you could tell me what is the most used procedure to correct this in Saudi Arabia where you practice. Thanks a lot, Laur. Hi doctors Laur And Kurt Ullman In fact I confused ,I feel there is misunderstanding in this discussion, anyway 50 Syrian pounds equal one American dollar and I am 45 years old and I don't think this is very old age man! Dear Dr. Laur The prognosis of your son problem depends on immediate treatment in the earliest stage of the disease, if the degree of the displacement is big immediate fixation should be done with K-wire or cumulated screw after correction of the deformity with redaction (if possible)or osteotomy . In fact, I cannot give you a good consultation since my practice in my hospital mostly in the orthopedic trauma so please keep me updated about and Sorry for your son problem.

I wasn't talking about you when I said "He was very old". I was talking about my teacher. The 9 year old boy is not my son(I'm only 23 yaers old and I'm not married). He has the condition for about a year and a half and it's a second degree epiphisiolysis (a displacement between 30 and 60 degrees). I'm going to write to you tomorrow and tell you what kind of procedure was chosen in this case. Thanks for the information. I was only curious about the most used techniques you use in Saudi Arabia. Hello Dr. Hayian, I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about you when I said "He was very old". I was talking about my teacher. The 9 year old boy is not my son(I'm only 23 years old and I'm not married). He has the condition for about a year and a half and it's a first degree epiphisiolysis (a displacement under 30 degrees). It was corrected yesterday using 3 Kirschner broches Thanks for the information.

Thank you I am waiting I talked to the doctor who operated the boy and she told me that in his case best approach was correction with 3 Kirschner nails(I don't know the exact English term for them). > I talked to the doctor who operated the boy and she told me that in > his case best approach was correction with 3 Kirschner nails(I don't > know the exact English term for them). Kirschner nails=K-wire but this for fixation Thanks for your answer, Laur. > Thanks for your answer, > Laur. Thanks you Hello, Dr. Hayian It's me again. I was wondering if I could ask you a question You musn't answer if you think it's too personal to tell. I appologize in advance if I have offended you in any way or crossed any common sense boundries by asking you this. I was wondering how much does an orthopedist from Saudi Arabia just like you earn in a month. Because my orthopedy teacher just bought himself an airplane(not a large one and he didn't buy it alone with 2 other colleagues). Thank you for your your patience and I am very sorry if I offended you. Laur. > Hello, Dr. Hayian > It's me again.

Hello Laur In saudi arabia there are many levels for salaries: If you are resident or specialist or consultant and if you are working for ministry of health or the army or national grad or for privet sponsor... For western certificate degrees they pay more than 3000 euro per month in MOH, and the army and national gard pay more with special and high salaries for western persons. Thank you |
