[PatStapleton]

I wasn't sure where to post custom recipes, so I'm posting here.

I wrote a recipe for the Medical Journal of Australia, hopefully this is useful to somebody.

Note that I wrote it to use my institution's login so you may need to adjust this for your own use. The parts to adjust are the "#LOGIN" section, and the "#fix url to pickup institution login by appending" line.
