Something similar does already exists, telemedicine. A lot of hospitals are starting to experiment with consulting via telemedicine (with robots for instance for video communication and bedside visits) for interesting/hard cases. It's not the same as what you're describing, but HIPAA regulations and how hospitals work would most likely rule out an "open" service like that.
