Best Treatments Website from the BMJ

Thanks to: eHealth The British Medical Journal has rolled out a Best Treatments website billed as "clinical evidence for patients from the BMJ". It has two searches - one for patients and one for physicians as well as an index of health topics. However, selecting a condition as a US user gives this message: Sorry, BestTreatments is available only within the UK." You are then directed to MyUHC.com if you are a member of Consumer Reports Medical Guide. Consumer Reports offers some information but also encourages the user to "Subscribe to ConsumerReportsMedicalGuide.org for the in-depth report, including comprehensive Treatment Ratings."
