Trying to find wikis on Google isn't easy. If you use the word wiki in your search you are going to end up with about 6000 wikipedia pages in your results. However I did find a link on wikipedia to another wiki called Health++ which had a list of medical wikis. There were quite a few so I didn't look at them all.
Of all the Wikis I did look at "Ganfyd" appeared to be the best. Anyone can read it but only Medical "Professionals" can join or edit it. This could be useful to patients who want to research their own condition or Professionals who just want to do a bit of research.
Special mention goes to "mla-hls" a wiki aimed specifically at Hospital Librarians. As with all projects created by a large group of separate individuals the content varies widely in style, quality and quantity but this can be said of all wikis.
