Online, patients-as-consumers are reviewing doctors

Dozens of websites that permit people to rate, review, spin or flame their doctors have sprung up and operate in much the same way as online services that help people find the best hotels or avoid plumbers who overcharge. Patients and site operators say the trend is good for consumers and good for healthcare because good doctors will provide better customer service because of the feedback, and the bad ones will be exposed. But many doctors say the results are skewed by disgruntled patients and are thus unfair, pushing some doctors to near-ruin after a single post.

How Robots are Improving the Quality of Healthcare-Automatically

These days, doctors and nurses need to be as efficient as possible. Every minute wasted is a minute that could be better spent elsewhere, giving patients the best possible care. That's why many healthcare facilities have discovered an innovative new approach to freeing up healthcare providers' time: robots. These robots don't take the place of doctors or nurses, but instead bring drugs, equipment, meals, and other healthcare necessities to doctors and nurses, anywhere in a facility.

Judd Apatow, Christian Bale, Britney Spears

A growth on a kidney removed from the conductor James Levine was malignant, but the cancer was caught early and no further treatment is needed, the Boston Symphony Orchestra said. Doctors in New York removed the right kidney last week because the growth was causing Levine, the 65-year-old music director of both the BSO and the Metropolitan Opera, pressure and discomfort. The surgery forced him to miss the remainder of the BSO's Tanglewood season. Levine's brother, Tom Levine , said that doctors found a malignant growth on the kidney, but that it was very small and confined. "Doctors reported the surgery was completely curative and no further treatment is necessary," he said.

The Art and Science of Clinical Decision Making

Thinking about how you make clinical decisions is the first step toward making better ones. Doctors' clinical decision making has received much attention over the last 18 months, due in part to Dr. Jerome Groopman's best-selling book How Doctors Think.1 Before Groopman's book climbed the New York Times best-seller list last year, a November 2006 study in the British Medical Journal reported that the search engine Google was able to arrive at a correct diagnosis 58 percent of the time when presented with three symptoms.2 Reports of the study in the national media raised questions about how we physicians make clinical decisions. Articles in The New Yorker, Time and Newsweek followed,3-5 leaving patients and physicians alike with newfound interest in this critically important skill.
