I wonder, though, how many of these uses of Google could be prevented by just using bookmarks on your browser or your Library's web site.

Using available technology to educate the patient and physician simultaneously as a team. You represent a true teacher and healer. It seems like you enjoyed your day and your patients!

Google's nice in that references over the entire web, but I'd imagine there are times where you'd want to specialize your search and not worry about noise coming into your results.<br/><br/>I guess you could also go further and use a system that has a more formalized representation of the knowledge, such as the Anvita eReference.<br/><br/>As for Google tricks, it's amazing how often the text of a question matches the text in it's answer, especially for direct "4-w's" type questions (who/what/where/when). If you enter in "What is Abraham Lincoln's birthday?" it's likely the answer will be in the top listing of results.
