Summary:

"As a very full-featured free app, Medscape is worth a download. If you have space on your device, I strongly recommend you download the full database so you're prepared in any eventuality."

Available for Android and iOS

Has anyone tried this? I don't have a smart phone.

As the article says:

"Remember, Medscape is no substitute for seeing your doctor. If you're hurt or ill, go to your doctor!

"Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint."

Nice photo. I see what you mean re the cygnets' disdain!!!! Do Australian black swans have white cygnets? In the UK, we have white swans with grey cygnets.

Well it's a dirty white as you can see. The other parent was not far away and was watching over a further 3 cygnets. I can certainly understand the premise for the 'Ugly Duckling story'. Seems their necks grow significantly too as they mature. The adults can get quite 'in your face' if you get too close!
