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.
