Usage

Use this template at the top of a talk page for an article in the purview of WikiProject Medicine.

This template provides automatic links to a few external literature databases, to aid in finding reliable sources.

By default, this uses only the article's name as the search term. You can add synonyms using the "synonym1", "synonym2", and "synonym3" parameters. For example, on the pseudomembranous colitis talk page, you might have the following. Note the "+" being used for the space -- this is essential because this term is used in the URL portion of the wikilink.

{{Reliable sources for medical articles|synonym1=antibiotic-induced+diarrhea}}
