THURSDAY, Nov. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Everyone's using it, so why not your
doctor?
That's Google, of course, the Internet search engine now so popular, it's
a verb in several different languages.
According to a new study in the Nov. 11 British Medical Journal, a quick
Google search could help doctors diagnose difficult cases.
In fact, it already seems to be happening.
"It's a reality," said Dr. Robert Schwartz, professor and chairman of
family medicine and community health at the University of Miami Miller
School of Medicine.
Schwartz didn't know how many doctors at his facility, which includes the
nation's largest public hospital, were turning to cyberspace but stated,
"Absolutely, people are using the Web."
And perhaps more doctors should try.
<snip>
According to the study, doctors carry two million facts in their heads
needed to help them diagnose different illnesses. But as medical knowledge
continues to expand, this may not be enough.
"There has been a dramatic explosion of information," Schwartz verified.
"Doctors, medical students, residents and faculty struggle with it every
day, so any kind of a tool that's going to help you look at the data is
welcome."
According to a New England Journal of Medicine paper, one doctor correctly
diagnosed IPEX (immunodeficiency, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X
linked) syndrome, a rare immune system disorder, thanks to Google. Her
colleagues were astonished.
Patients also use Google to diagnose their own problems. One father used
information gleaned from Google to instruct his son's doctors on the
symptoms and treatment of Paget-von Schroetter syndrome, another rare
disorder, this one often linked to sports. The son played water polo.
The authors of the British Medical Journal paper chose 26
difficult-to-diagnose cases published in the New England Journal of
Medicine in 2005, then Googled three to five search terms from each case.
The people doing the searches did not know the correct diagnosis.
Google found the correct diagnosis in 15, or 58 percent, of the cases.
Conditions included cat scratch disease, Cushing's syndrome,
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and tuberculosis (Google identified these
correctly), and "hot tub lung" and brain abscess (Google misdiagnosed
these).

"The Internet and other digital sources of information are widely used
tools for research, but since they are relatively new tools, various
disciplines are still deciding what the correct way to document
electronic sources is, and disciplines are constantly changing their
minds as to what the most approriate ways are.
To ensure accuracy, it's always best to consult the style manual and/or
accompanying website for your discipline first before consulting other
sources. We have a complete list or style manuals on our resources for
documenting sources page,which also provides links to general information
about documenting print sources (and in some cases, electronic sources).
Other ways to determine the style you should use are to ask your
instructor for guidelines or resources, or to locate the official website
for publications in your discipline and see if they have any guidelines
or style manuals available.
This page contains links to sources which will help students, teachers,
and anybody doing research on the Internet to cite electronic sources
using different styles. We also have links to some of our OWL handouts
about citing sources."

PROVISO: Officers of the Department of State and U.S. Embassies and
Consulates abroad are prohibited by federal regulation from acting as
agents, attorneys or in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of U.S. citizens in
private legal disputes abroad. (22 CFR 92.81; 10.735-206(a)(7); 72.41;
71.5.)
RECOMMENDING A FOREIGN ATTORNEY: 22 CFR 92.82 provides that Foreign
Service officers shall refrain from recommending a particular foreign
attorney, but may furnish names of several attorneys, or refer inquiries
to foreign law directories, bar associations or other organizations. For a
list of Foreign Attorneys, click here.
FOREIGN ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ABROAD: U.S. embassies
and consulates abroad generally do not have foreign attorneys on a
retainer to represent the interests of the U.S. Government. (See 22 U.S.C.
2698(a); 28 C.F.R. 0.45; Volume 2, Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM),
Department of State, Sec. 283; Volume 9, Foreign Affairs Manual, Sec.
971.2.)
BACKGROUND: This information flyer was devised primarily for the lay
person confronted with a private legal problem abroad. It contains general
practical suggestions for dealing with a foreign attorney. General
information concerning foreign legal aid is also discussed. For American
lawyers facing the task of retaining foreign legal counsel, see Lewis,
Selecting and Working With Foreign Counsel, The International Lawyer's
Deskbook, American Bar Association, 393-410 (1996) and Epstein & Snyder,
International Litigation: A Guide to Jurisdiction, Practice and Strategy,
2nd, 2.10-2.13, p. 2-17 - 2-24 (1994).
WHAT TYPE OF LAWYER WILL YOU NEED:
Barristers and Solicitors: In some foreign countries it may be necessary
to retain the services of both a solicitor and a barrister. In such
jurisdictions, barristers are allowed to appear in court, including trial
courts and higher courts of appeal or other courts. Solicitors are allowed
to advise clients and sometimes represent them in the lower courts. They
may also prepare cases for barristers to try in the higher courts..
Notaries, "Notaires", "Notars", and "Huissiers": In some countries,
notaries public, "notaires", "notars" and "huissiers" can perform many of
the functions performed by attorneys in the United States. A notary in a
civil law country is not comparable to a notary public in the United
States. Their education and training differs from that of most notaries
public in the United States. They frequently draft instruments such wills
and conveyances. In some countries a notary is a public official appointed
by the Ministry of Justice, whose functions include not only preparing
documents, but the administration and settlement of estates. Such notaries
serve as repositories for wills and are empowered to serve legal
documents. In some countries "huissiers" serve documents. They are not
lawyers, but are very specialized members of the foreign legal profession.
They may not plead cases in court. Your foreign attorney may delegate
certain functions to a notary, "notaire", "notar" or "huissier".
Foreign Legal Consultants: These are U.S. law firms with offices in
foreign countries. They may or may not be licensed to practice law abroad.
Selecting an Attorney: When you receive a list of attorneys, consider
contacting several attorneys, briefly describing the nature of the
services you desire. Find out the attorney's qualifications and
experience. Find out how the attorney plans to represent you. Ask specific
questions and expect the attorney to explain legal activities in language
that you can comprehend. Do not turn over documents or funds until you are
satisfied that the attorney understands your problem and is willing to
handle your case. Find out the rules of the foreign country concerning
attorney-client confidentiality.
Back to top
GUIDELINES ON HOW TO DEAL WITH YOUR FOREIGN ATTORNEY:
Understanding Your Attorney: Ask your attorney to analyze your case,
giving you the positive and negative aspects and probable outcome. Do not
expect your attorney to give a simple answer to a complex legal question.
Be sure that you understand the technical language in any contract or
other legal document prepared by your attorney before you sign it.
Fees: Find out what fees the attorney charges and how the attorney expects
to be paid. In some countries fees are fixed by local law. Establish a
billing schedule that meets your requirements and is acceptable to the
foreign attorney. Foreign lawyers may be unaccustomed to including a
description of work performed in connection with billing. Some foreign
attorneys may expect to be paid in advance; some may demand payment after
each action they take on your behalf and refuse to take further action
until they are paid; and some may take the case on a contingency or
percentage basis, collecting a pre-arranged percentage of moneys awarded
to you by the foreign court. Request an estimate of the total hours and
costs of doing the work. Be clear who will be involved in the work and the
fees charged by each participant. Determine costs if other attorneys or
specialists need to be consulted, such as barristers. See "Payment of
Attorneys and Litigation Expenses in Selected Foreign Nations", U.S.
Library of Congress, Law Library, Doc. LL-95-2 (March 1995) (Includes
information on Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain,
Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and
Taiwan.)
Method of Payment: Find out the expected means of payment (corporate
check, bank check, personal check, international money order, wire
transfer), specify currency and exchange rates (when and where applicable
or feasible).
Progress Reports: Ask that your attorney keep you informed of the progress
of your case according to a pre-established schedule. Remember that most
foreign courts work rather slowly. You may, therefore, wish the attorney
to send you monthly reports, even though no real developments have
ensured, simply to satisfy your doubts about the progress of the case. Ask
what the fee will be for progress reports.
Language: Is the attorney fluent in English? This may or may not be
important to you. If the foreign attorney does not speak or write in
English, you can arrange for translation of correspondence. Attorneys on
lists prepared by the U.S. embassies and consulates abroad do speak
English.
Document Translations: If you need to provide complex or technical
documents to your attorney, you may wish to consider having the documents
translated into the attorney's native language. Remember that even a
fundamental knowledge of English may not be enough to enable the attorney
to understand technical documents you provide. Discuss with your attorney
whether it is preferable to translate the documents in the U.S. or in the
foreign country. Compare the costs.
Communication: Remember your responsibility to keep your attorney informed
of any new developments in your case. Be honest and frank with your
attorney. Tell the attorney every relevant fact in order to get the best
representation of your interests. Establish how you be communicate with
your foreign attorney (mail, phone, fax, Internet.)
Time: Find out how much time the attorney anticipates the case may take to
complete. (Note: in some countries the courts recess for a period of
several months. In addition, even if the case is resolved, currency
control laws may delay the transfer of funds awarded to you from the
foreign country for an indefinite period of time. Discuss these issues
with your attorney to ensure there is no confusion.
Authentication and Translation of Documents: It may be helpful for you to
provide foreign authorities or your attorney with authenticated,
translated copies of pertinent documents. Consult your foreign attorney
before going to this expense. An information flyer explaining the
authentication process is available from the Office of American Citizens
Services, either by mail or via our Internet Consular Affairs home page
described below under "Additional Information". These topics include Hague
Legalization Convention and General Authentication Flyer . See also the
U.S. State Department's Authentications Office home page.
Records: Consider requesting copies of all letters and documents prepared
on your behalf. Inquire about the costs of mailing you such documents.
Complaints Against Foreign Attorneys: If the services of your foreign
attorney prove unsatisfactory, in addition to notifying the U.S.
Department of State and/or the consular section of the U.S. embassy or
consulate abroad, you may address your complaints to the local foreign bar
association. Information about foreign bar associations may be obtained
from the U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Foreign embassies and
consulates in the U.S. may also have information on this subject.
Assistance of U.S. Embassies and Consulates: Should your communication
with a foreign attorney prove unsatisfactory, a U.S. consular officer may,
if appropriate, communicate with the attorney on your behalf. In addition,
complaints against foreign attorneys whose names appear on the consular
list of attorneys can result in the removal of their names from the list.
Coordination with Attorneys in the U.S.: American attorneys may not be in
a position to represent your interests abroad, particularly because
generally they will not be permitted to participate in foreign court
proceedings under the laws of the foreign country. American attorneys
experienced in international law procedure may be helpful in explaining
the complex legal issues involved in your case and some may have
associates abroad to whom they can refer you.
Finding A Foreign Attorney:
U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Office of American
Citizens Services and Crisis Management, (CA/OCS/ACS), Room 4811A, 2201 C
Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20520; tel: 202-647-5225 or 5226. Please
send a stamped, self addressed envelope, 8 1/2 x 11, to accommodate
postage for 20 sheets of paper or more. These lists of attorneys are also
being added to the Internet home pages of our U.S. embassies and
consulates . Lists of attorneys are prepared by U.S. embassies and
consulates triennially (every three years). The lists include names,
addresses, telephone numbers, etc., and information concerning the foreign
attorney's educational background, areas of specialization, and language
capability. When compiling the lists, U.S. consular officers send letters
and questionnaires to the attorneys in their consular district in the
foreign country. American attorneys licensed to practice in the foreign
country or working as foreign legal consultants are also included. Local
foreign bar associations are used as a resource in determining whether an
attorney is in good standing. See Volume 7, Department of State Foreign
Affairs Manual 990 (8/30/94) and 22 CFR 92.82.

Fourth-year psychology major Kim Mortreuil has been honoured with the
first-ever Augustana Information Literacy Award for Library Research.
Recognized
Mortreuil was recognized for making extensive use of the Augustana Faculty
Librarys services and resources in the course of her studies at Augustana.

Horleys Psychology 483 course.
The award is based on use of the library and how many sources you found
