Agree with all that, Svetlana - though we don't have a button at the top of articles making it easy for readers to enable email alerts. 99.999% of readers wouldn't know it was available. (This is something BLP subjects would appreciate too, I'm sure.)

Svetlana, presently we have
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProj...
which reports all changes to articles tagged on their talk page as "of interest to WikiProjedt Medicine" (about 33,000 so far).
This is a grand tool. Though
- it doesn't filter for new page creations (would it be nice to have a
"new page" tag?), and 2) is not as grained as subcats would be (where people would be able to pick a more narrow topic to watch).

I'd like all our medical articles to have a button at the top saying "email me when this article changes", so interested experts could easily adopt a few
articles.
Yes, this is a watchlist thing, it's already there (interested people can enable email delivery).
