Today, I had a 80 yo lady with ‘chest pain’ arrive early this morning to the General Practice clinic I'm working at. The EKG showed she was in Atrial Fibrillation. I didn't have to leave her side to double check cardioversion protocols and to refresh my understanding of the management options and her treatment. This example today is why I was so keen to hear about Skyscape for iPhone. I find Skyscape helps me practice in a way that lets me be the type of doctor I and my patients want: Up-to-date, confident and ready with an answer or information I can share with them on the spot. With this 80 yo lady, I was able to stay by her side as she was afraid, and I was able to talk to her about all the treatment options without running off to check a book. This kept her calm and helped her condition immediately. I was more confident and that settled her as she trusted my ability.
I am an Australian Doctor who has been using Skyscape products for 5 years now and they are a very important part of my everyday life in medicine. The value added experience in clinical medicine I can give with my O2 PDA phone with Skyscape products has help me to work in some of the most remote and isolate location in rural Australia on my own and provide cutting edge emergency care -- and check my knowledge even after days without sleep. In brief, I can't imagine practicing at this high level without my Skyscape references.
