My spouse is an hematologist+oncologist. She and all of her coworkers use ChatGPT. Before then, they look stuff up on UpToDate [ https://www.uptodate.com/login ] (they sometimes still do). I went to medical school for three years and quit because I couldn't stand the rote memorization part of the studies. Too many facts to remember IMO.

Even as an AI-neutral person, I'm very confident that AI/ML based computer systems, once trained specifically for medicine, will consistently do better than human doctors because believe it or not, there are a lot of human errors made in medicine field (doctors just don't admit that and we don't know) due to lack of time by doctors or incompetence or simply forgetting a fact or two that they should have checked when diagnosing or coming up with a treatment.

UpToDate is SUCH an awful company, pure rent taking. For site licenses, you just give them your sites' IP addresses and they program them into their firewall. No account management at all. INSANELY high prices. We replaced them with OpenEvidence.

I have a lot of doctor friends who tell me they all use OpenEvidence [1] in their practice. They've done a good job of capturing the doctor market while offering a useful product.
