I'm a medical doctor and frequently use sci-hub to review papers relevant to care of my patients. Prior to sci-hub, I would often have a clinical question, look it up, find a paywalled article, attempt to access it via the hospital's access, find it usually wasn't, give up, and then have spent 10 minutes of precious time doing this, feel like an idiot for wasting time, and just make a decision without the best information.
Now I get the DOI/pubmed #, go directly to scihub (or at least one of the scihub domains that isn't blocked by the hospital for being "unethical") and have the paper in 20 seconds.
