The Doctor's Bag

Reminiscent of the bag that doctors of yesteryear carried on house calls, the MerckSource Doctor's Bag is a fun new tool that allows users to directly search MerckSource.com from the convenience of their desktop.

Using the MerckSource Doctor's Bag, people can quickly and easily research hundreds of medical topics and conditions, scan breaking medical news, and prepare for a visit to their health care provider.

Once downloaded from MerckSource.com, the MerckSource Doctor's Bag lives on the user's Windows® desktop as an icon. When the user double-clicks on the Doctor's Bag, it opens up to reveal a search toolbar directly linked to the Web site's vast array of unbiased, non-promotional, expert-reviewed health information.

Download The Doctor's Bag search tool to your computer's desktop, and be one click away from the health information on MerckSource.com. Using the tool is easy. All you do is:

  • Click on the doctor's bag
  • Type in search terms in the box
  • Click the "GO" button

Your browser will open a page with a list of relevant links on MerckSource.com. Learn More About Using the Dr. Bag.

Please make sure you are connected to the internet before downloading this program. Downloading the program should take approximately 15 seconds with a high-speed connection, and 5-7 minutes with slower connection speeds.
