TBH was WebMD ever actually reputable? They're like the Forbes of the medical world except Forbes actually used to be good.
For doctors as a reference tool, seems that way. For the layman? You have cancer.
Wait what? Doctors are using the "you've got cancer" website? Mother of fuck that is terrifying
I found several historical articles that indicated that at one time it was a useful source for medical papers. I can't speak to the veracity of it, just reporting what I found by asking if WebMD was ever reliable
