A good WebMD would be probability based.

Rather than list all the possibilities, it would calculate in real-time the probability of each diagnosis and show how that probability changes as you add/remove symptoms or possibly even test results.

Even doctors would benefit from this as Bayesian inference is hard and even healthcare professionals generally put too much weight on a single positive test result.
