Oh, very well. I'll oblige.

 Just received a message to submit more articles, so, being the compliant sort, I'll do so. 

    Every once in a while, I'll  go to the Physician Ratings Site and see what's new with the doctors I've known. Of course, these ratings are patently unfair because anyone   can leave a review and say anything. And there's no recourse for the doctor but to live with what's been written. I'm sure not all doctors even read them. I have never left a review on this kind of public site, only if I receive a request from the physician's office or treating hospital. But I occasionally review the site anyway.

    I checked the site for Dr. Frank Congiusta, the orthopedist who performed my knee replacements 8 and 9 years ago, probably the most successful of all my medical ventures. The doctor, then in his late 30's and  fairly new to the practice, is now approaching 50 and holds title of Chief of Orthopaedics at St Peter's Hospital, among other honors.. The reviews left on the Ratings Site have increased in number and sing his praises. Except for a single one. 

That review, left by a woman, reads: "Dr. Conquistador is not as great as he thinks he is."   Why this is funny I don't know, but it is
