A med student answered a question and was very nervous to say he learned it from UpToDate. He wasn't sure how I felt about UpToDate. He then pointed to this exchange from @OnlineMedEd where one of the teachers disparages UpToDate onlinemeded.org/spa/surgery-tr… 
I hold UpToDate in high esteem. I think the authors tend to be top people in their field. I think it answers questions as good as any medical source.
An what is that about getting authors that couldn't get chapters in real text books. What the hell is a real text book?
One of the amazing things is that this exchange is over two years old but the med student remembered it and it still shaded his view of UpToDate as a taboo source to be referenced carefully.
What are your thoughts on UpToDate?
