As we all know, one is not supposed to rely on medical advice found on the Internet; however, here is a source that most likely will find visitors among the general populace as well as medical professionals; Ask Dr. Wiki, a Wikipedia-style Web site started last March by two Cleveland Clinic doctors.

It certainly is a safer source of medical information than it was," he wrote in an e-mail, adding that the site is still meant as a resource for medical professionals."
