The Amedeo Challenge back
5000 years ago, man invented writing, 500 years ago, Gutenberg invented the letterpress, and over the last 10 years, the Internet has triggered the third revolution in knowledge transmission. In this new information environment, physicians will play a vital role in the dissemination of medical information. Physicians are now in complete control of the production and distribution process of medical information. As a result, the publication of freely accessible medical textbooks will become a standard procedure in medical publishing. One of BSK's favorite quotes is: "A medical textbook without a free Internet PDF is like a car without wheels!" Consequently, physicians who offer their writings as free PDFs on the Web, will have an enormous selective advantage over colleagues who stick to print-only publications. When asked why he does what he does, BSK answers: "Because I have time. I have time because it takes me less than 40 hours a week to get the butter on my bread. And I prefer promoting free medical textbooks than going in for sports or any other pastime." Free high-quality medical textbooks will contribute to the improvement of medical care. As medicine is not an unlimited field, the most important subjects can be covered in 100 textbooks. Imagine: 100 books, 50,000 pages, free of charge, updated every 12 or 24 months. 99% of the questions that crop up in daily medical routine would be covered - for the benefit of patients, students, and doctors. All the world needs is a hundred teams of dedicated and far-sighted doctors who make the decision that up-to-date medical information will be available free of charge. 100 teams that will revolutionize the access to medical information. There is no doubt: HIV Medicine, Influenza Report, and Tuberculosis 2007 are just the beginning. Remember what BSK always says: "Science is beautiful. The spirit of science is to share information. Be part of it."
