A better WebMD already exists, and it’s called UpToDate. It’s target audience is doctors, but you can pay ~$20 for a week as a consumer (you can pay less per week for longer also). It’s a great resource, and has a summary of the most recent consensus view on common medical topics. It doesn’t expand pages out with fluff or talk down to you, though it won’t have too much info about assumed medical fundamentals. You can pull the citations and look up the references.
Reading it makes your appreciate why WebMD exists. Not everyone wants to read highly technical medical jargon and read medical papers. But the HN audience probably has a lot of folks that are down to do that, and I strongly recommend UpToDate for those that do. I use almost every time I have a substantial new issue that requires a physician visit.
