Help with Research? :)

[med_cat]

Hi, everyone,

I am doing a project for school/work which is as follows: I'm going to take a telemetry class later this Spring, and as I'm finishing my MSN/Ed and the tele class instructor knows this, asked me to do a brief presentation for the class.  She and I agreed that I could present a brief historical perspective on CPR and how cardiovascular illness was diagnosed and treated in general, from early 19th century to today. Does anybody happen to know of any suitable resources off-hand, as I know several people on my f-list are interested in medical matters? :)

Thanks very much!
Cat

EDIT: actually, found a link that looks interesting ;)  Here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2329859/

EDIT #2: (Feb. 4, 2010)--thanks to everyone for your assistance; as you may see in comments below, the project wasn't for school, but I didn't want to give away the fact that I was working on a story for watsons_woes ;)

Google books has lots of things like the Lancet -- make sure you collect terms as you go, as the descriptions of what the diseases/conditions are changes over time.

(If you want an example of the kind of thing you can find, check out the link on my journal's sidebar to Squire's Companion to the British Pharmacopeia.)

And don't forget to hit your local library/medical library! Chances are the librarian knows sources you'd never even suspect exist.
