Ok, I'd like to say good try, but bad move. For one thing, wiki cannot be used as a reliable source. Even if the information is correct, it has the opportunity to be wrong. Second, books are always better then links, I have two copies of Grays Anatomy, one on my computer and a book form. And I ALWAYS refferr to my hard back copy of the book. So, basically I'm saying go to half priced books and pay 1-5$ on a beat up book. Its much better. The two medicine plus links I can see coming in handy, though. Good job on linking those up. But, yeah. The best sources come from books. - I am saying this as a long term patient, a writer, and a premed hopeful. For recommended books on this topic for medical writing. Here are the books I'd suggest buying. Pain: The gift nobody wants Gray's Anatomy Websters Student Medical Dictionary. Medical Mavericks: A history of medicine -Any book can be a good reference. But remember, cite your sources. Because if you don't have an M.D. at the end of your name, you could get sued, or be taken down for impersonating a medical adviser.
I should use "Free online sources" in may title post. This was my intention. Link to Wikipedia's anatomy was not necessary, I agree.
Thanks boron and dolotous, all very helpful tips. I have an interest in writing some medically-correct articles, and these are great places to get me off the ground. Thanks again!
