You have plenty of empowerment...if you don't like the care being provided at this location, go to another. If none are available that fit your expectations, open your own.

Sounds to me like a business opportunity.

Yes, they are confidential, but it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to do the sleuthing of who was the guilty party in most cases.

IDK if this is true in all states, but in many, even if there is no basis for the complaint, and no violation is discovered, that complaint remains upon the providers record INDEFINITELY.

Then you factor in the whole "guilty until proven innocent" thing, and you can begin to see why this is a concern.

Ethically, it's kinda low....but we have this thing called the First Amendment. That whole "freedom of speech" thing?
