Document Needed:

I am seeking a link to directly download or purchase access to a 1968
Journal of the American Medical Association article entitled "A
Definition of Irreversible Coma". pp. 337-340. Only that article is required.

Any downloadable, electronic format such as PDF, JPEG, TIFF is
acceptable, and I am willing to pay for access to the site where it may be
found.

Pere the AMA's web site at:
<http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/vol205/issue6/index.dtl>, the full
title of the article is:

"A definition of irreversible coma. Report of the Ad Hoc Committee of
the Harvard Medical School to Examine the Definition of Brain Death"
JAMA. 1968;205:337-340.

Please note that I need the full article, and not an abstract or summary.  Thanks!

christa255-ga,

The Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering & Technology in Kansas
City has a very reliable document delivery service -- they'll find
most articles, and deliver them via mail or (I think) electronically. 
Cost is generally about $20 per article for 2-day delivery, but if you
want rush or super-rush service, it's available at a higher price.


You can see their website here:


http://www.lhl.lib.mo.us/services/document_delivery/index.shtml


and their contact information is:


Email: requests@lindahall.org
Fax: 1-816-926-8785
Phone: 1-800-662-1545
Mail: Document Services; Linda Hall Library; 5109 Cherry; Kansas City, MO. 64110 


Give them a try, and let me know how it works out for you.

pafalafa-ga -

Thank you for taking the time to respond with that resource.

I've since acquired a hard copy of the document from microfiche at a
library in my city.
