It only makes a difference as to whether you check boxes for emails and what sort of home page you may see.
Yes, I have used the site as it is free (emedicine/WebMD/Medscape -- they are linked), and has peer reviewed articles rather than just pages searched on Google which seem to be heavy on trying to sell something.
The detailed articles on eMedicine subscribe to the HON code (Health on The Net Foundation) which is a sign of a more reliable source. Of course even one study doesn't necessarily mean that another could also be valid, but the write-ups are pretty technical, diagnostic, and clinical, as they should be since they are primarily directed at the medical community.I believe there is a signup option to the effect of "of medical interest" or something identifying someone of a non practitioner. I don't think it makes a difference, but I can't say.
