Tuesday, October 19, 2004I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, this is something that goes on every day, albeit in face-to-face conversations between people who work together and live near one another. It just extends it beyond the local level. On the other hand, when you're getting advice about someone's bedside manner from a person you know, you can balance that information against what you know about the person giving it. For example, I recently saw a patient who had nothing good to say about any physician he had ever encountered. After he treated me to a littany of their faults, he looked at me and said, "I don't know, maybe it's just me." And you know what? I was thinking the same thing. That knowledge of the reviewer is completely missing from "Rate Your...." websites, and it's a major drawback. posted by Sydney on 10/19/2004 08:35:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
