Pubmed itself is open (just google "pubmed"). However, while many scientific publications are open access, many more are not.

I find that google scholar does a pretty good job at searching. I typically start with google before using pubmed.

Then you need a place to store your papers. I like to use F1000 workspace.

If your doctor is not helping you, get a new one, preferably in a big city with a university-affiliated hospital. These MD deal with highly educated levels of patients and colleagues, and they like it.

True, but

https://sci-hub.tw/

sad that it needs to exist, but good that it does.

It does, plus it has the great advantage that it will find a PDF of the paper posted by the author (or someone else) on a webfolder somewhere. Pubmed only links to the "official" paper publication, plus some open repositories in some cases.
