The message was the first tryout of a government-sponsored system that would alert frontline health care workers of bioterrorist attacks. If there had been an actual terrorist attack, he would have received up-to-date information from the Centers for Disease Control about how the disease could be treated."<br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/hansberry/2003/20030508-bioterror.gif" /><br />The service is available on Palm and Pocket PC software through the <a href="https://www.epocrates.com/index.jsp">ePocrates</a> software program. I didn't realize that over 700,000 medical professionals used that app. If you are interested in the application, you may want to check out <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,11409">our product review</a>.
