Abstract

Software Galen is the first of my home computers to realize my vision of a physician workstation. This 33-Mhz, 386 PC-clone is equipped with 4 megabytes of RAM, a 200-megabyte hard disk, and SVGA graphics. Running Windows 3.0 under DOS 5.0, it fulfills my needs for database access, pediatric and internal medicine CD-ROM use, remote communications, writing, and programming. Software, as much as hardware, makes this possible. So, when JAMA asked me to review the CIBA-GEIGY Medical Computing Resource Guide (formerly called PC Physician MCRG), I couldn't refuse. MCRG is a Hypertext document for anyone who wants to use computers to grapple with medical problems. Version 2.1 encompasses computing information for physicians, nurses, dentists, educators, and medical office managers. It covers organizations and users' groups, bulletin boards and databases, interactive video and CD-ROM resources, medical computing periodicals, audiotapes, and books. If you are unfamiliar with Hypertext, don't be intimidated. Clinical
