this is an article in July Reader's Digest. I found it rather interesting. a family practice doc from DC said "its pretty common for doctors to talk about their patients and make judgements, particularly about their appearance"
A ped from NY said "everyone thinks all doctors know one another. But when we refer you to a specialist, we often have no idea who those people are. Generally we only know that they accept your insurance"
It was intersting to read.

I don't get Reader's Digest, but would love to read the report. Is this article online? Thanks!

ps. My doc says that she gives referrals based on what she hears from other patients she has sent to that doc. If she doesn't hear back, she assumed the doc is great. So I ALWAYS tell her when I have a prob with a doc.
