I just think it defeats the purpose to have acess fees for abstracts, articles etc. Sure, I know, people want to get paid for research, and many doctors don't like patients going online and doing their own research. But, there is a lot of useful information for patients that is prohibitive by cost.
One publishes it to the internet so that the results are well known. There are a lot of 'amateur scientists' out there that could benefit.
