We will also provide the citations for patients to use at their local medical library. As patients begin to take the course of their medical treatment into their own hands, it is more important that patients have access to the original research, using the same sources of information that their physicians use. Many of these studies are funded by the public, and yet public access to the results is limited at best, and subject to reinterpretation by third parties. Many of these scientific journals are not available at the local public library, but must be found a medical library that is open to the public, usually affiliated with a public university medical school. Even if a patient is fortunate enough to live near a medical library that is not closed to the public, they must have a good facility with using Medline. I know that in my own medical training, it took a couple of years before I felt comfortable using Medline to where I was finding the complete results I was searching for.
