Assuming it's the BMJ that I know of that's the 'British Medical Journal' which is highly regarded.

Yes, together with New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet, they are the ‘Nature’ equivalent of medical science.

The BMJ is the Daily Mail of medical journals, its target audience is whisky-nosed old buffers. Real doctors read the Lancet.

According to Wikipedia: “ As of 2008, the five journals that have been cited most frequently by articles published in The BMJ are The BMJ, The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.” So your statement is quite incorrect or you are being sarcastic.
