BMJ on the internet
Will be useful for isolated general practitionersEDITOR,--The release of the BMJ on the internet is a landmark development.1 It is a particularly heartening example of the idealism of wanting to share knowledge being more powerful than the need to maximise the commercial return.
As an educator who helps general practitioners, I am only too aware of the professional isolation that so easily engulfs my general practitioner colleagues, and as an Australian I am aware of the geographical isolation that presents such a challenge for many of our rural general practitioners. Access to the most relevant current medical information through the internet is an important weapon in fighting this isolation. Already doctors in isolated areas are beginning to acquire access to the internet as a means of communicating with each other, and the BMJ's page will be a powerful additional motivation for more doctors to do so.
