Interesting question. The first control message creating sci.med appeared
in May 1991. Prior to The Great Renaming in the 1980s there was apparently
a group named net.med, but nothing seems to exist for that group.
As was pretty typical for those times (before usenet was known to the
unwashed masses) the charter was a simple one-liner:

If a FAQ ever existed, I haven't been able to find it.
