Abstract
His Favourite Website Sojourns . . .
www.medicinenet.com
Physicians and health providers beware! This site empowers health
consumers with health, disease and drug information which could
make one cringe at the next patient encounter. It provides
excellent information on diseases, conditions and medications.
Would that there be a site with individual physician background
information, as well as hospitals, so that they could make better
physician selection and referral choices!
www.cnn.com/WORLD
In the absence of an independent world government news network,
this is probably the next best site, American biases recognized. It
provides an update on ground-breaking news stories from around the
world without the bias of so many national-based news networks. It
allows a perspective on how the rest of the planet views Canada and
Canadian news, something as noteworthy and relevant as news from
Columbia, Cambodia or the Cameroons. For those of us, tired of the
CBC biases and focus on Joe Clark's latest perspectives on
everything and anything that moves, this site is refreshing. It's
how the Martians would no doubt view our planetary news.
www.search.corporateinformation.com
This is a goldmine of information on the corporate world in the
entire world, important to anyone whose headspace is in management.
For anyone whose head is on autopilot in the world of medicine and
computers, this site opens a whole new vista of a completely
different world. Yes, there is life after medical informatics!
www.ledevoir.com
Using another cultural prism, it is the editorials and comments to
the editor that really make this journal noteworthy. Not only are
the standards of written French of the highest order this side of
the Atlantic, its perspectives of national (however they define it)
and international news are actually refreshingly different and
sometimes ingenuous. Really!
www.oecd.org
For anyone that despairs about the economic and social problems in
Canada, this site provides information that not only are we in good
company, but we are actually doing great! As part of an
international community, this site has a wealth of information and
reports on all facets of key sectors of our sister nations in the
Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. God Bless
Canada!
