Should people be able to review and rate doctors online? The anonymous comment on the Web site RateMDs.com was unsparing: "Very unhelpful, arrogant," it said of a doctor. "Did not listen and cut me off, seemed much too happy to have power (and abuse it!) over suffering people." Such reviews are becoming more common as consumer ratings services like Zagat's and Angie's List expand beyond restaurants and plumbers to medical care, and some doctors are fighting back. They're asking patients to agree to what amounts to a gag order that bars them from posting negative comments online... http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009...

Or maybe you just need to learn how to use the criticism to improve yourself. I don't see any reason not to do this.

If I were a doctor, I wouldn't like it. i could be an excellent doctor and be ruined by thoughtless comments from liars or idiots.
