TE> Following very interested your dialog (as one of "some doctors" 
 TE> myself) I found:
PT>>There is the National Practitioners Data Bank....
 TE> so my fingers are typing in my very awful English from small far old  
 TE> Germany: gratulation!
I just came back from Deutschland where I was with the american Air Force 
at Sembach Air Base (nahe Kaiserslautern, in der Pfalz). Your English is 
certainly better than my German. 
I really miss living over there - what a fantastic country to live in, 
especially this time of year!!
 TE> I'd like to have one here! Thats great! I'll try 
 TE> to get a politician establishing such an Data Bank of german doctors. 
That would be a good thing. From what I saw, the patients don't stand up 
for themselves at all in Europe and a bad physician would go unnoticed for 
a long time.
 TE> I'm listening nearby daily to legitimate complaining patients...
 TE> ...what shall I do? The next doctor I'd trying could be the same way, 
 TE> whom can I believe?".... So I mean, a neutral pool of 
 TE> informations could be helpful indeed. But Germany and its physicians 
 TE> are much rather conservative not only in that respect.
They certainly are conservative there! Sometimes I wish medicine in 
America were more like it is for you where the patient just says "Yes sir" 
and does what you tell him instead of questioning everything and telling 
you which medicine to use. All that educating we do is time consuming and 
sometimes very tiring.
 TE> So long
 TE> Thomas.
Tschuess!
