High-Tech Communication With Your Colleagues

Fax, Computer-Fax, BBS, and e-mail

Abstract

If you don't talk shop with your colleagues you will petrify. We've all seen practitioners isolated in their practices (or their ivory tower University offices) becoming progressively less valuable to their clients while losing all joy in veterinary medicine, until they end up burned out and whining about the competition from the feed store.

Electronic communication can help,making it vastly more convenient to communicate with people in the next town or around the world. Unfortunately the number of options available make choosing a system, and getting it functioning, viciously complicated. Once you do get things working, though, you won't know how you got on before.
