Information about health is radically different from information in other fields. Often it is sought by concerned patients or relatives, sometimes looking for help in incurable or chronic diseases. It would be immoral and irresponsible to offer misguided or incorrect advice without proper context of nature of Wikipedia authorship.
Open, unverifiable and fluctuant medical articles content must be put in the right perspective with a kind of obligatory disclaimer.
