Re: Susan, your paralysis, and commenting on physicians
i posted a reply on my blog:

my condolences to you again for your friend Susan, and i'm angry that you experienced paralysis without sedation...
i was wondering if you could add to my thinking on this matter: Is there a good way for us to aggregate comments on experiences we have with physicians, the way that we can review books on allconsuming.net?
When googling on "Palo Alto" and "urgent care" I find people that have blogged in increasing frequency on their experience with our clinic (mostly positive). There's no easy way to find these though, since they're scattered between search results on public service announcements and ads.
Without creating a service built on some external index like a physician's state licence #(like allconsuming.net is on ISBN), is there another way? The index approach would only work per physician anyways, not allowing a patient to comment on a clinic as a whole. I was thinking of coding a blog entry with the GeoURL data of the clinic, but that's pretty geeky for now and not intuitive at all. If every physician had their own blog, you could use trackbacks, but that's pie in the sky as well, since very few docs blog.
I'm looking for a distributed way, not a centralized service like ePinions. I want the opinions expressed to be clearly the patient's own.
It'd be a step towards a service Marc Canter has been pushing for, OpenReviews, envisioned as a way to express your a short opinion without having to post a blog entry, etc.
