Healthtalkonline.org is a database of hundreds of interviews with patients afflicted by various conditions, ranging from ethnic experiences in mental health to Alzheimer's to experiences with being a clinical trial subject to cancer. It also includes a section on youth experiences with illness.

What a genuinely interesting website! On the internet, it feels like doctors' views are well represented in 'Dr. Google' websites (WebMD and the like) and patients' views are well-represented in disease forums or whatnot, but it's nice to have a website which presents a mix of informed screened information combined with patients' perspectives. Here's to hoping it gets out to the folks who need it most.
