First review of socialect

Stumbled upon the first review of socialect at http://www.redferret.net/?p=13318. The author calls our site an "awesome global information wiki" which sounds good to us :) It goes on to say we're languishing in style which he really would have no way of knowing since the site is global :) For instance, check out the places and topics tabs for Kathmandu, Boston, or Miami Beach. But the truth is that socialect is expanding slowly and steadily - we have a small market share but the market is huge!

Doctors in Kathmandu

Kathmandu is an awesome city. Except when you get sick. 911? Forget it. Phone directories? What's that. Ambulances? Are you crazy. Address and directions to a hospital? Do you have 20 minutes while I tell you all the landmarks you have to memorize.

Make no mistake this is truly one of those cities where you have to be prepared when (not if) you get sick or god forbid need emergency care. If you're going to visit this awesome city that could kill you, these three links could save you a lot of time and frustration if not your life.
  1. List of clinics/hospitals with doctors along with phone numbers and map
  2. Same list that you can download to a GPS device
  3. Same list that you can download to a Nokia phone (with phone numbers and coordinates mapped correctly)
This is a list that I came up with and is by no means comprehensive or up to date. If you have more accurate information please update the list or add more doctors - sign up is free and only takes 10 seconds.
