Dear Friends,
Are you CLUELESS of your NEW DOCTOR??
If he is good then why not let everyone know? If he is bad, then why
not warn others?
Do you wish to tell the inside story of your current doctor?
Each day, thousands of people are confronted with choice of visiting a
totally new doctor.
Anything this new doctor tells you is viewed with suspicion. You would
like to go in for a second opinion?
Would it help if there is someone anonymous who warned or reassured
you about this new doctor you are about to meet?

Some years ago the Port Coquitlam Women's Centre got funding to compile an
ongoing database of patient perception and experience with local doctors,
combined with information from doctors on their current specialty and other
practice information, i.e. were they accepting new patients, would they
perform an abortion, would they refer to non-traditional specialists
(accupuncturist, chiropractor), would they prescribe birth-control pills to
women under 18, and so on.

I was hired to manage the project, and it got off to a great start. Patients
saw it as a way to find a doctor that they would be happy with, and (most)
doctors saw it as a way to avoid patinets who were going to be unhappy with
their policies and protocol. A win-win situation, yes? No. The College of
Physicians and Surgeons got wind of the project and forbade doctors from
cooperating with us by filling out a standard form. Then, they demanded the
completed forms that we had received before they intervened. We complied,
under threat of legal action.

A good idea, but it must be made clear to all concerned that the patient
responses are for the most part subjective and that most patients are
unqualified to judge a doctor's competence. That a doctor will not prescribe
opiates on demand, or that a doctor is all warm and chatty when doing a
routine exam does not make him a good or a bad doctor.

This website looks like a disaster though. Highly unprofessional,
disorganized and seems to be merely a vehicle for ad sales.
