This is stupid. Fully reading and analyzing the source for accuracy and relevancy can be extremely time consuming. That's why physicians have databases like UpToDate and Dynamed that have expert (ie physician and PhD) analyses and summaries of the studies in the relevant articles.

I'm a 4th year medical student and I have literally never used an LLM. If I don't know something, I look it up in a reliable resource and a huge part of my education is knowing what I need to look up. An LLM can't do that for me.

4th year med student here: I use Google to find studies and STATPearls pages because the built-in NIH search function sucks.
