Is it ok if it's in print form? A reputable medical journal isn't 'on the internet somewhere'....
I don't read journals to decide what medicines to take. I have looked up studies on medications I've taken out of curiosity though, especially when I took a course of medication that didn't appear to do anything....
If somebody wants to read a medical journal out of interest, or to get more information for their own knowledge - no sane person would have a problem with that. However, when it comes to actually making decisions about whether you should take X or Y medicine, or procedure, based on that journal and you have no medical training or knowledge, that's where problems begin.
