#6

1. Content: Very complete and thorough. Has a Overview so reader can choose to go to one area. Covers; differentail Diagnoses and Workup, Treatment and Medication, follow-up, Multimedia, References and Keywords. The right hand column has links to related emdicine areas. the header lists the authors and their qualifications one of whom is Payel Gupta. The site also shows an update as of Jan 15, 2009 in the header.

2. Design: Flows logically down the site. The reader can choose to jump to areas of interest by clicking on the chapter heading. There are some ads that change that are somewhat distracting.

3. Very easy to use and read. Qualifies its sources and information. There is use of occasional medical terminology that lay people may not get but are not obstructive to overall understanding.

4. Users of this site would probably include Professional and educated lay persons.

5. I didn't spend a lot of time looking but did not see any way to contact any of the contributors.

    Ellen--First of all, I love your colors. I find them very soothing!
    I'm vaguely familiar with emedicine, but, until now, had never explored it. It would have come in handy last year with the NP program. Live and learn!!

    this site is sponsored by WebMD. I found that site to be very useful for both consumers and health educators. It is a wealth of information and i would definitely try to include it in your External Links.

    I like using emedicine when I am searching for quick information. There is a lot of useful "stuff" here.
