[humanser] Using DSM

[JD TOWNSEND]

Hi:

This is an excellent question.  My solution is to have the entire DSM on my 
BrailleNote.  I have it separated by chapter headings and frequently use the 
alphabetic listing for a general idea or number and the chapters to refine 
my diagnostic choices.

I find it fast and easy on the BrailleNote as I am sure the other notetakers 
are and with searching ability I am frequently faster than the light 
dependent in locating passages.


Best of luck.
