Re: Clinical relevance of bony landmarks [HAPP-L]

[Victor G Alvarez <valvarez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would be great to see a list that addressed the issue of relevancy.  
Students always ask why is this kind of material important to know.  I 
know nothing of hypodermic injections, but knowing the landmarks can be 
helpful to know where (and where not) to give shots.
