How do you know this? It is not so obviously "naive". It looks
quite knowing and tricky actually. To be frank, I would prefer
naiver, less flashy and 3 columny (2 would be easier for everyone
on this site, including yourself)

I suggest the following for improvement.
Top priority is to get rid of the moving banner and flashing
looping gif, these are really quite irritating. This is a serious
subject and distracting enough without these provocations.
Do these things re translation stuff:
Either
(1) Lose all the language translation stuff. Forget about it.
Leave it to users to figure. English is the main language and
most other people will know how to translate via web services or
their inbuilt facilities....
(2) Just put one simple link to point folk to a web translation
service and leave it at that.
(3) Have a link to hive off the translation stuff you have to a
separate page of yours (if you must).
This then clears the main page(s) of all the flags and some links
to give you more room. The page will then load faster (it is a
bit slow on dialup). You can then make the fonts a normal size -
there are people with less than optimal eyesight as well as with
lungs that are worrisome!
On the home page, in the main content, there is some grace in the
padding, fine. But in the links like "transmission, you jam up
the subheadings against the left border of the content and indent
the paras. I'd say to not indent, and give more padding (as on
home page). You will get more in and it will look more graceful.
There is all sorts of trouble but where to stop? (When I click on
left link of Tranmission of TB on home page, it goes fine. But
when there, the same link is broken.) You need to check all your
links, the paths.
Simplify everything and you will sort things better. Ask all the
time, what are the most important things for folk to know about
this condition and just concentrate on this. Content! Lose
everything else. Serbo-Croat, Quiz for every occasion, Hypocratic
oath indeed! Give the users a real break and cut all this stuff
out!
