What is this Site?

Welcome to the web site for Surgical Sieve, a monthly newsletter covering computers' impact on medicine.

Right then, where are the pages about surgical techniques?

This site is not about surgery.

Huh?

Like I said, this site is about the impact of computers on medicine. IT 4 ITU is the slogan. Every issue, a particular application is looked at - consumer health sites, handheld computers, privacy, online prescriptions. I try to talk about it from every angle - the technology, the economics, and its impact on doctors and patients.

So, why is it called Surgical Sieve then?

I wanted a name that every doctor would understand from their student days, and no one else would get. And Surgical Sieve includes the fact that I sift through lots of electronic information for every issue.
