There should be an open way for patients to give public feedback. HIPAA makes it impossible for a Doctor to defend herself from a BS review.
For EXAMPLE:
Patient X: This Doctor is terrible, I had a broken leg and he told me to get the hell out of the hospital and walk it off.
Doctor Y: This Patient has been to the ER 30 times over the past 2 months, every time he asks for narcotics for broken bones that NEVER show up on X-rays.
Patient X's Lawyer: You are now being sued for a HIPAA violation.
