Wellpoint, Zagat join to give doctor info - UPI.com
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.
