This week my ritualistic pattern of posting to my blogs (What’s On My PC and Bookmarks4Techs) was slowed somewhat due to experiencing a food borne illness (commonly referred to as food poisoning or norovirus).
Thanks to my caring wife, I am on the mend; however, during my downtime I started to think; “What resources are available out there on the internet for people to quickly research for “what to do” in the event they experience a sudden onset (or symptom) of an illness or a medical emergency (first aid)? Of course, common sense, call 9-1-1 in any life threatening emergency and go to your Doctor (or emergency room) for any questionable illness. You should never rely on a self diagnosis!
Sites you may want to look at are:
ADDED 3/4/2012 - Medline Plus
If there are any other resources out there that you would like to recommend or share, please comment below… I would love to hear about them.

Thank goodness you’re on the mend, Rick. Must have been a very uncomfortable experience, to say the least.
BTW – thanks for the link back.

Bill,
Thank you for your concern… Yes, this did kick me in the butt somewhat, but I am a tough old coot (as they say).
Thanks for the heads up on the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Looks like Windows 8 may be rearing up for a release this year. They better get moving!
Rick

Pirates never die!

Hey.
If you get a chance, check out this “See Through Tablet” that Samsung is projecting in the near future. Pretty Cool!

Hey,
This is sure a lot different than the old DOS days… That is really cool technology. Will be following this.

Food borne illness-NO FUN!! Glad you’re better and you have a caring wife. Another good medical site is Medline Plus. Part of my job as a telephonic RN is giving patients good websites that have solid evidence based information and this one has never let me down. It is part of the National Institutes of Health and the National Library of Medicine. Thanks for your excellent blog!!!
Joy,
Today I am feeling much, much better. Thanks for providing us the Medline Plus site: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/
I have added to the list in the article… Keep up the great job Nursing. Much of my family is in the Nursing field, as well.
Rick
Glad you are better! Steve
Steve,
Doing much better? I have not been sick like that for over 30 years. Guess I’m getting old…
