Interested in an obscure disease? Obviously, I cannot be your doctor, cannot substitute for a physician of your own, and cannot diagnose or treat over the 'web. Whether you are a medical student seeking a study guide, or a sick person seeking answers, you must understand that these notes, and any correspondence we may have, are provided for informational purposes only, and with the understanding that I am not engaged in rendering medical or professional services. If you, or someone special to you, is sick, you need to review all information carefully with your health care provider. No physician can know everything. However, I'm honest and interested in being useful. And if there's something you need to know, I can probably help you find it. E-mail me at scalpel_blade@yahoo.com and let me know how I can help. No texting or chat messages, please. Ordinary e-mails are welcome. This is completely confidential.

If you are still looking for information, and you are in the U.S., I suggest you use a Medline search from any public-service health-information site. You can find articles which you can probably get by interlibrary loan, as well as the names and institutions of researchers publishing on the disease in which you're interested.

The following pathology lectures cover the content of an introductory medical school course in pathology. They are up-to-date, but are no substitute for your own doctor's advice! They contain references in {braces} to the "Slice of Life" videodisc. Send me an E-mail request scalpel_blade@yahoo.com if there's anything else you would like. No texting or chat messages, please. Ordinary e-mails are welcome.
