The following programs are now presented at http://www.medconnect.com

MedConnect proudly presents "NEW THERAPIES FOR OLD DISEASES". This
monthly interactive review will discuss new drugs being introduced to
our practice. This month's issue discusses "NEWER ANTI DIABETICS". Last
month's issue discussed "DRUGS FOR OBESITY".

CME PROGRAM: DISPELLING THE MYTHS: DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND PAIN
MANAGEMENT IN ABDOMINAL PAIN. PART 1 . This presentation discusses
appropriate strategies for pain management in abdominal pain.

CASES OF THE MONTH:

1. Pediatrics - "FINDING A POLAR BEAR IN A SNOWSTORM". An excellent
   presentation  on a child presenting with FEVER AND TACHYPNEA. Java
   Scripting has been used to make this presentation very interactive.

2. Toxicology- "A CASE OF NAILS IN JAILS". An excellent presentation on
   a patient found unconscious and "smelling like garlic".

JOKE OF THE MONTH features an interesting joke.
