| I am a second year medical student from Canada. Before medical school, I graduated from pharmacy where I first was exposed to a palm IIIXE. The minute I saw epocrates and how easy it was to look up drugs, I knew I needed to get one. Since that I have had the Palm IIIXE, then a Sony PEG415 (high-res B&W), then Tungsten T (great device but all buttons froze so it was warrantied), then Tungsten T3 (amazing device) w/ 256Mb SD. I do not use epocrates anymore. There are far better resources out there. For a drug resource, I rely almost entirely on Lexi-drugs and the other Lexi-comp programs. I use these programs most often: I am still waiting for T3 LEAP driver for the palm wifi card so I can use it at the university. |
and best of all it is freeThanks for for feedback Robert. A Gmail invite goes out to you – there are still three left for anyone else who wishes to contribute.
I think Lexi-comp has a more comprehensive drug information database compared with ePocrates and importantly too, it supports memory card storage.
As for the Leap driver there is one for the Tungsten C so hopefully someone will come out with one for the SD Wifi card.
