This page contains links from our
members that could be useful to you too.
The links are with index numbers (1,2,3,etc) so people can ask in the group
other people what they think about a certain site.
A brief description (1 - many lines) is also here to give you some idea what the
site is about.
Have a look and don't forget to send yours.
Description from a member: It's a service that allows for the simple creation of a web page allowing a patient or caregiver(s) to keep friends, family members, co-workers, and others who might not normally be able to stay in close touch, up to date on that patient's condition. There's other ways to do that, of course...visits, calls, email, etc., but I think anyone who's been hospitalised for any length of time, or who's been a caregiver, knows how draining it can be to keep a group of people up to speed, in addition to doing what needs to be done on the health front. This service is easy, and you don't need to know anything about website design or construction to update; it's a fairly simple template, so all ya need is access to the web, and a typing finger or two. It's secure, and password protected, so the only people with access to any information or updates are people you *choose* to share that with. I think it's a pretty good idea, and I kinda wish I'd known about it back when I had my transplant.
Description from a member: The Nephron Information Centre. For Kidney & Dialysis information.

This is a similar site to Medscape
called Docguide and like Medscape you need to register,I've found it a great
source of Info,you choose your Personal Edition" which in my case is

Description from a member: This one's quite good for general health advice, obviously they want you to buy their products but try the "self help" and "product comparisons/reviews" I've never bought from them but have found their info good!

Description from a member: One of the most comprehensive Heart Failure sites I've found; designed and built for patients, by a Congestive Heart Failure Patient. Also has a lot of heart transplant information. I highly recommend this site.
10. http://www.globalrph.com/conv_si.htm Singapore use one system of measurements, which of course they call "conventional", while the REST of the known world uses "metric" or System International (S.I.). Sort of like "soccer" vs. "football". ;-) Some things are the same, but most require conversion.
