The best learning material / reference places

[Sublime]

I just wanted to start a thread where people on here could share reference and learning material with everyone else. I have seen some great links and material posted in various spread out threads, but from what I've seen there is no thread like this that's been posted.

I'll start with a couple good ones I use.

www.uptodate.com
discovered this one at the hospital I work at. It is a physician reference program, but has tons of articles for free. You can literally type in just about any major disease process and learn more than you'd ever want to know. Same with drugs.

Discovered this guy from another EMTLIFE poster. He can be a little hard to understand some times, but his lectures are amazing, unlike anything I've listened to before as far as quality of teaching and explaining difficult sciences. The subjects on youtube are free, but if you want to view all of his videos you have to pay (it's very expensive). But there is plenty to keep you busy for a while with the free ones.

This guy (Dr.Guy) has some great podcasts. He has his ICU Rounds podcast on critical care medicine and a separate set on Pharmacology for EMS.

http://emcrit.org/
Another blog / podcast I discovered from a post on EMTLIFE. Thanks to whoever it was that originally posted a link the this. Great emergency medicine related discussions on here.

Most of you probably already have this book marked, but if you don't its a great 12-lead blog.

http://www.icufaqs.org/
I had this one in my book marks, but I never actually got around to reading much of it, so I can't comment on the quality of the material, but I believe I found it from someone at this site who posted a link to it. It's mostly for ICU RN's, but I am sure much of that can be applied to a paramedics knowledge base.

That is the main ones I can think of for right now. Please comment and add more that you know of!

ICUfaqs is a fantastic website. Some of it is more relevant to nursing however there is a good amount that will be helpful. Good info on ABGs, vents, and intubation.

Sublime, you are awesome! Seriously, i greatly appreciate you for putting together all that reference material. I'm sure many others will appreciate it 2

Awesome sites, just a heads up however, uptodate is not free. Your hospital likely has a subscription which is several hundred dollars for an individual one.

emedicine.medscape.com is a great site, similar information that is available on uptodate, and is free to signup.

EXCELLENT anatomy site. Used to be Google Body.

https://online.epocrates.com/
Online drug reference, with a drug interaction checker (though there have been times in the past I've come across where the interaction checker doesn't pick something up that it should. Still an excellent resource and available for a lot of phones too)

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/encyclopedia.html
Pretty good medical encyclopedia, though some or a lot of it is geared towards patients

http://depts.washington.edu/physdx/index.html
Gives some good recordings of heart/lung sounds, etc

http://www.pdr.net/Default.aspx
Physician's Desk Reference online, similar to Epocrates in some ways

Auscultation website from Littmann.

I was thinking it wasn't free as well (I know there is a payed option), but if you go to the website and search for a topic it allows you to use the site. I have yet to pay for any information off it.

Also wanted to add another great podcast website to the thread.
