Other comments:
- need all three
- When a patient moves to another geographic area, I bring in the directory and show the page with members in the patient's new geographic area, then I copy the page and give it to the patient.
- A printed copy provides easier access to my staff.
- Online veresion only. Save the trees - I look at it maybe once every other year.
- I like it the way it is
- It goes against the grain...but I just LOVE the directory.
- i find the website unusable to do anything in a timely manner
- The print copy by far - their are enough glitches in the system, that on multiple occasions, I could not get the info from web site - the book has saved me. Please keep for now. Thx
- not all information needed is available
- printing will be the most popular answer, but sometimes we have to do the right thing (make it online only) even though it may not be the most popular thing. remember, humans will always consume a free resource until it is gone.
- I don't use the print version or need to download the whole thing and create PDF's, just the online version to find if I know anyone in an area for patient referral, and to get contact emails.
- How does one find hand surgeons in a specific geographic area on the ASSH web page? The directory enables you to locate a specific surgeon by name but it does not enable one to find the ASSH members in a specific locale. Am I missing something?
- wouldn't use it otherwise
- Who needs the whole directory? I just need to find members and their email address/mailing address/fax
