The Chicago Sun-Times today wrote an editorial about the risks and value of online doctor ratings services.
Generally, opinion pieces take a stand, but this editorial rides the line – offering the good and the bad of these services.
On the one hand, it explains how some online rating services could be the work of a doctor’s mother or ex-wife. Then it suddenly reverts and talks about how other services are open only to subscribers and are open to doctors’ rebuttals.
So how is a web surfer to know?
The editorial concludes that people on the internet are so savvy that they will know the difference. That may be true in picking a puppy or getting a good deal on a book, but medical care? It just isn’t that simple.
