Reasonable steps to verify the content is accurate? haha you must be joking. Looks like you have elevated yourself to supreme authority. Correct - I do not have access to the Australian Medicine Handbook. I do have access to other reliable sources - as does everyone else. Last time I checked (unless you have overthrown the scientific and medical establishments) sources such as: Scientific American, Nature, NIH (National Institute of Health), Max Planck Institute, IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America), ASM (American Society for Microbiology) and other scientific research and publishing agencies are reliable.
