Gotta say this sounds really stupid: a Zagat guide to doctors. There are so many problems with this concept that I don't know where to begin to criticize it. How the data is going to be gathered? From patient surveys? You can't just walk into a doctor's office like you can a restaurant. Ok. So what really bothers me is that it assumes that doctors should be like anyone else in the service industry. Good doctors are often not your best friend, like a good waiter might be; doctors are trained to be an advocate for your health, not an advocate of your pleasure.

I never thought it would be so difficult to kill somebody. Obviously the simple solution is to train the executioners better so they don't futz up the drug dosages. Or just use rifles. The guillotine is efficient too I hear. An execution is violent, no matter how you do it, and all this talk about making it painless and humane just sounds like people ashamed of the act wanting to wash their conscience.
