What do You think ?

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Cool, isn't it!? I rated one of my least favorite ducks....but couldn't figure out how to rate a dr already on the list...????

Posted by wrotek (Member # 5354) on :

WEll i have something about 20 doctors to rate [Smile]

I wonder if this site is operating legally and maybe once in the future someone will start similar website in Poland [Smile]

Posted by vachick (Member # 8353) on :

This goes to show how this rating stuff is soooo subjective. Two of my doctors are on here.

The gastro who told me that I was "completely healthy", nothing is wrong with me, and that I needed to see a psychiatrist got the highest rating from someone. A friend of mine went to him as well and hated him.

My Lyme doc and internist who found my Lyme and has called me personally from his cell on his way home several times was given a bad rating.

Go figure.

If you see a rating that you disagree with, you'd be doing everyone a favor to post another rating giving your impressions.

I have used this site several times, both to leave poor ratings for ducks regarding Lyme diagnosis and treatment and for checking out docs that I had been referred to by others.

This is just the kind of site that we have all been wishing for, isn't it? Our own alligator pit! [bonk]

Let's go for it!

Hey, this is pretty cool.

Lymetoo, I think you just click on the doc's name and then you can rate him?

No doctor I have ever been to is on here. I guess I can fix that......

I'm glad somebody finally created a website like this. This is exactly what I wanted to do about 5 years ago but didn't have the computer savvy to do it.

Except I would have included - or had a separate list for - alternative practitioners, physical thrapists, etc.

Thank you for posting this.

I feel much better now.

Did you notice you can add a duck's name?

Posted by wrotek (Member # 5354) on :

I can`t figure it out, why do You call a doctor a duck ?

as in QUACK, QUACK....meaning they don't know anything about doctoring!!!!

I think I tried that, trueblue....It was easy on the second site. [editing to add....YEP, figured it out....DUH!]

I rated one of my ducks!!! [shake]

Posted by wrotek (Member # 5354) on :

I see, ducks make a "quack quack" sounds [Smile]

Posted by cmichaelo (Member # 5873) on :

Darn that felt good! [Big Grin]

I was professional though...except I might have slipped after I added the 7th "quack" in the rating description of the Dr....j/k.

Huh? Now what did I do? *looks around* [lol]

I found my favorite doctor of all time and added to the glowing ratings he had. [Smile]

(ok, I will admit to slamming someone else that deserved it.) [Razz]

Cool site.

short of taking a burlap sac of low-life ducs, hmo people, et.al., to the river(save the kittens. they kill disease vectors.), getting politically involved, by supporting lyme legislation, and working to bring lyme fraudsters before a tribunal in teh hague for crimes against humanity, will get us to our goal(s) a lot more efficaciously.

while these sites do a service, we can have all the sites, boards,and primetime,tv coverage we want---so long as it doesn't constitute a legislative effort to change policy.

some docs don't need a check up; they need to complete a "circuit." [Big Grin]
