Something occurred to me today. Too often on this board, we hear of ignorant, patronizing, or otherwise bad psychiatrists. There are alot of good psychiatrists out there but as I think we all have experienced at some point, there are alot of bad ones.
We often talk as though we were powerless to do anything about this. We however, are ultimately the consumers and the ones who provide psychiatrists with their money. And as consumers, we have the power to regulate the industry with our "purchasing" decisions.
I propose we begin a list of bad psychiatrists. We could make this list available via the internet so that people knew who was respectful, informed, and flexible, and who was not. It could be a rating type of site in which people could rate their doctors on different criteria and an average of that doctors rating would be shown, sort of like "remedyfind."
We could make a positive impact, even if its only a first step. Any body with me on this?
