As more diseases are discovered(?), the treatment becomes more Complex.
So are the disciplines of Medicine,
Medical Science has the vicarious pleasure using high-sounding names even for simple Diseases,one gets scared on hearing the names.
As Medicine gets more specialized, the total picture of the body is often lost, with some of the doctors, not sure enough about other parts of the body other than the part they have specialized in.
Then we have the Pharmaceutical Companies use all the guile at their disposal to mislead you, where they keep quiet about the side effects of the medicines you take.
And many of us are scared to ask the Doctor in detail about our ailment and the course of treatment he is using, its ramifications and the side effects of the drugs he is prescribing.
But one must, notwithstanding the irritation of some Doctors, ask and discuss with the Doctor these issues, after all it is your Body.
It would be helpful if one has some information about the disease one has ,its symptoms, possible courses of treatment, in a simple language.
National Institute of Medicine,under the aegis of the US Government hs come out with a Medical site that explains the diseases in detail.
In a simple language.
The information is provided in text/interactive format.

Video tutorials are provided.
Just click the disease you want to know about, you have the relevant information.
The Tutorials require a Flash Plug In version 6 and above,
