Checking on those who give check-ups
If you’re interested in keeping tabs on your doctor, HealthGrades now offers a notification service.
The Web site, www.healthgrades.com, is best known for its hospital ratings. But given the information it compiles, a physician notification service is a natural addition.
The “Watchdog” e-mail alert service costs $4.95 a month.
Notification items include board certification, disciplinary actions, malpractice suits and patient safety reviews.
Would you monitor your doctor? Would you pay to have someone notify you of lawsuits and other information of interest? Leave a comment at The Medicine Bag blog at http://blog.newsok.com/health. I’d like to hear what you think.
HealthGrades maintains quality profiles on almost every practicing physician in the country. The profile includes information on the doctor’s medical training, patient ratings, state and federal sanctions, malpractice judgments (in 15 states), procedure costs and hospital affiliations.
Subscribers to the service receive e-mail alerts when a physician’s information changes. Comprehensive physician profiles cost $29.95.

Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few months i may get my own domain, but i don’t know how to setup themes so i don’t mind paying someone to make me a nice one and set it all up. Do you know any good WordPress designer companies, thanks for your help.
