Out of date but not dated?

This is a great example of how the instant-at-hand-reflexive-cut-and-paste nature of electronic information can bridge the virtual to inflict real harm. Contemplate how clinical out-of-date information can be similarly used to boost the medical malpractice of the incidentalome. Will medical libraries step up to the challenge of keeping the medical profession up to date?
