Medical tutorial directory

From ResearchBuzz:

"There are over 2000 medical tutorials in the Spider Nevi search engine, with a further 7000 tutorials waiting to be reviewed. Unfortunately, the search engine isn't work-safe, since recent searches are put on the front page, and some people are searching for obscenities, but if you can get past that, you might like Spider Nevi."

"The results I found here were not always so much as tutorials as encyclopedia entries, but they were informative. I tried 'psoriasis' found three results, all from a family medical practice site. A search for 'flu' found 17 results, but unfortunately, partial word matches found words like 'fluid.'

I like the idea, but I'd like to see a lot more content here, with some distinction between what's an encyclopedia entry and what's an actual interactive tutorial. It'd be nice if there were a switch between regular search and automatic stemming search as well. Still in progress."
