Wikipedia:WikiProject Clinical medicine/categorizations
Navigation:
The new Wikipedia:Categorization system will probably be quite powerful, but requires some thought before starting to institute it, as there is no way yet to have synonyms for categories (the "Doctor" category would be a different category from the "Doctors" category).
So I thought I'd put up a (so far partial) system and have everyone edit it mercilessly to see if we can come up with a logical (and probably necessarily multi-hierarchical) way to organize the medical articles.

sorry to insert a comment, but this list is sooooo long if we actually get them all (Ca 19-9, Serum CEA, Serum PSA, INR, AST, ALT, BUN, total bilirubin, WBC, blood cases, hemoglobin A1C, blood alcohol, blood sugar, drug levels (that itself is a remarkably long list), etc.) If the consensus is that we should get them, I'll do my best to provide a longer list. But maybe this is too much? Preczewski 03:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC) Yeah, too much. Pkoetters 07:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

another approach to medication
editEach medication should be labelled with several categories. These include:
- diseases in which it is useful
- purpose (or effect, or desired effect)
- drug class
- route of administration
