P.U.

   Every once in a while, I read doctors' reviews, where patients or ex-patients feel free to say what they think of their physicians. The reviews  are probably mostly unreliable as indicators of medical competency or expertise, because, face it, most of us do not go onsite to critique our doctors. Still, where there is a large number of comments left for a particular doctor, you could gain some insight. In any case, the comments can make for some interesting reading.
    As I scrolled through a list of local specialists, I noted one review gave the lowest possible rating, and that person left a comment. Naturally, I looked and read this:   Patient says the doctor asked him if he worked with animals. The patient said no. Then the doctor asked him if he bathed.  The patient was mortified, advised all would-be patients to avoid this doctor with the sensitive nose.
