DRM

DRM on medical journals is bad medicine

Hi, I am an Interventional Radiologist in private practice. I am frequently frustrated when trying to look up medical information online. With the advent of the internet, one would think that information would be much more readily available. I frequently find that not to be the case. When looking up information during residency, I would do a Medline search in the school’s library and the school’s license would allow access to the journals. Now, out in the real world, I am often thwarted by a journal’s pay wall, whether I arrived via Google or PubMed.
