• Search the test name on WebMD, www.webmd.com, which defaults to a test definition or the Library of Medical Tests at www.mdadvice.com • Consult the Medical Test Encyclopedia at www.discoveryhealth.com • Link to MedlinePlus, another free web source at www.medlineplus.gov, which offers online tutorial about tests. • Check out a copy of “The Patient’s Guide to Medical Tests: Everything you Need to Know about the Tests your Doctor Orders” from the circulating collection.
