Where is their revenue from?

It is advertised as a free service. It would be interesting to find out where does Medscape's revenue come from? Does Medscape sell sensitive private medical information to third parties? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.223.128.201 (talk) 16:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

If this question has a bearing on anything, what is it? The set of possible answers includes only two possibilities. Each can be addressed, even without knowing the answer. So, what is the purpose of the question? Kernel.package (talk) 12:00, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Their revenue is from explicit advertising, clearly marked on each page on which appears, and from Continuing Medical Education (CME) that attracts pharmaceutical company sponsors. A "Chinese wall" is maintained between sponsors of CME and authors of CME, if these are ethical people, which they seem to be. 69.86.155.132 (talk) 00:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

"Mainstream media's" attention was irrelevant

The purpose of the analysis was not to provide a comparison of the two. This point managed to escape the discussions. That it did escape the scrutiny of mainstream media is no surprise, though, since the overwhelming majority of medical journal articles is well beyond the ability of most writers in mainsteam media, to comprehend. This opinion is based on what I've read; nothing I've read outside of a medical journal but that pertains to a peer-reviewed journal article, is accurate and no article has ever reached an appropriate conclusion. It seems that media writers believe they can draw an epidemiological conclusion from a single study, whereas no author of a peer-reviewed journal article is capable of doing this.

 Done: I went ahead and removed the offending sentence. Be bold! Tomásdearg92 (talk) 22:05, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

You must be joking.

"Medscape was birthed to solve a problem. The problem was that physicians were overwhelmed with information, but straining to access and focus on the knowledge that would actually improve patient care."

This appears to have been written by a drone in P.R. - totally and absolutely says nothing whatsoever. Now if you want interesting, it's the fact that they renamed to 98point6. Which they abandoned. But it's interesting to read how they came up with it, which was documented in a 1999 Slate article. It's been abandoned now, but then these guys went bankrupt. - Letsbefiends (talk) 11:20, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

References.

I am working on finding some references to help develop the article. There is a dearth of secondary sources and they are made harder to find as searches tend to return primary. I am posting what I come across here. MrBill3 (talk) 07:25, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
