Forget Google ~ try MEDgle

MEDgle is a new search engine designed with patients in mind.

Describing itself as a “personalized medical search by doctors for everyone (for informational purposes only)”, MEDgle is a search for general medical conditions. Users can type in their symptoms or click on the body part image to see the associated symptoms. You can also personalize your search by adding ethnicity, pregnancy status, drinking/smoking frequency, and more.

MEDgle excludes psychiatric, neonatal, obstetrics, orthopedics and other medical subspecialty information, & search results are described as “part of general medical knowledge learned in medical school and residency.” Even so, it is an interesting resource for patient health information.
