A new favorite site

One state over to the right, my Idaho Internet colleague Dr. Tom Heston is running an excellent health site that emphasizes prevention. Heston, a Spokane native, has practiced family medicine and nuclear medicine in the Silver Valley since completing his residency in 1997.

Heston’s site is The Internet Medical Journal. It’s geared toward regular folks, but docs will get a lot out of it too. Besides Heston's summaries of recent research, the site from time to time broadcasts live talks from medical conferences.

On the site today, he has an item about the effects on newborns of smoking during pregnancy.
