Medlibbers -

Bizarre is hardly the word. Useless for any serious attempt at searching
is a better description.

 I  taught a course that included a segment on PubMed this last weekend
and encountered numerous anomalous responses. As I stated last week
- I have abandoned PubMed in favor of our Web version of OVID. I don't
have time to fool around with a system that plainly doesn't work. And if
the folks at PubMed think that medical professionals are going to use a
system that regularly runs amok - well, they are in for a rude awakening.
