Focusing on how we do use rather than how to use the Internet, this thought-provoking entry in a 13-part series looks at how doctors are using consultation on the net to share cutting edge information and thereby saving lives. The program also looks at how the widespread exchange of medical information is both refreshingly democratic and subject to abuse by pranksters. Finally, the tape examines the net's own medical syndrome: Internet Addictive Disorder. Other titles include: Cyber Students, Net Profits, Electric Ink, and Spiritual Surfers. The 13-part series is available for: $224.98; or $325 w/PPR. Highly recommended. Aud: J, H. C, P. (R. Pitman)
