One of the efforts that the government instituted when managing healthcare was to have patients rate their doctors. Most patients lack the knowledge to appreciate the difficulty of medical or surgical practice and will formulate opinions on things like, how pretty the dressing looks or more correctly, on how much pain they felt.
In order to remain in the good graces of the medicare administrators most doctors recognized that pain relief resulted in happier patients. The rest, as they say, is history.
Now, the government will threaten your medical practice if you prescribe too much. Isn’t government involvement wonderful?
I judge on results as well as how I’m treated. 1 doc sued a poster for a bad review. So I stopped reviewing, but don’t hesitate to tell others seeking a service to avoid a certain doc. Lost half my hearing to a POS SADISTIC CHEAPSKATE who has a standalone surgery center with a hotel attached to it. Not even an Anthologist, he guessed at the anesthesia Versed you needed. 1 Nurse Pre/Post OP to do IV’s. And a aid who spent more time playing with her hair than working. Top Rated by foot.
