The Medical Quack: HealthGrades And Other MD Rating and Referral Sites List “Dead Doctors” on Their MD Information Pages And Even Include the Insurance Plans the “Dead Doctors” Honor

This just goes to show you can’t really believe every thing you read on the web.  I came across this by accident when doing some searches relative to the Medical Quack.  I went to an obgyn doctor for many years and was very happy with her and would still be a patient today except for the fact that she unfortunately passed away from breast cancer.

These sites are supposed to “rate and “help” people but I am not convinced how valuable they are when I see my former physician who has been dead for around 6 years still listed and according to the site, she takes HealthNet.  You can read on the site about the focus on helping hospitals with marketing and other software and management areas of business.  I guess they are too busy marketing to look for a little bit of accuracy here with the physicians they provide information for.  Marketing captures all today.  I did call her old phone number out of curiosity and it said it had been disconnected so goodness forbid that phone number being given out to anyone else here, they would kill the phone company with all the wrong numbers due to a listing as such.

Find Health Care Options - Public Information - MOHLTC

A Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic can provide ongoing care while helping promote disease prevention and healthy living. Nurse practitioners can diagnose and treat common injuries and illnesses, write some prescriptions and order blood and diagnostic tests. You can also find nurse practitioners working throughout the province in Family Health Teams and other types of clinics.

Tip : If you’re without a family doctor, try Health Care Connect. They can help you find a nurse practitioner or family doctor in your area.

Use this option

  • As an alternative to a traditional doctor’s office or walk-in clinic
  • To schedule a checkup including routine screening tests for cancer, etc
  • When you need support in managing a chronic condition
