John Sireci---"As a medical intern, I have utilized many different books/manuals in the hospital and outpatient setting. This book is by far the most complete and satisfying source that I have ever used. The algorithms are clearly written and provide information on diagnosis and treatment based upon current guidelines. It is a must buy!"

Skype is a free service that allows its users to engage in voice communication over the internet. Once you download Skype to your computer, you can talk to other Skype users free over the internet. It gets better though. You can also sign up for a service called SkypeOut, which allows you to call a normal phone from your computer. I am currently in Costa Rica and am using Skype to call family and business contacts in the states. Price depends on who you are calling. To call from anywhere in the world to the U.S., for instance, is about 2 cents per minute. Skype also offers a service called SkypeIn. For about $10 for 3 months, you can get a Skype phone number that allows people from a normal phone anywhere in the world to call your SkypeIn phone number. When they call, your computer will "ring" and you can take the call over the internet.
