Doctors Silencing Online Patient Reviews Via Contract

Condiment writes "Next time you're sick, take five and actually read the pile of contracts your doctor dumps on your lap, because it's becoming more and more likely that your doctors are banning patients from posting reviews on the Web. You heard that right: as a prerequisite to receiving medical care, patients are in many cases required to sign away their First Amendment rights!"

Sir, you mistake litigants as entirely and wholly rational people. This will be your downfall.

Win-win. I got to hang up on a butthead and received no punishment for it. (I quit that company not long after that) :)

But you should have know better than to take the job with the RNC if you didn't expect that sort of thing.

What confuses me is... your doctors give you contracts? To HEAL you?

...

I think I've found a flaw in your medical system. In Canada, doctors give us medicine.

C- Whilst *vigorously* checking prostate, he reached forward with one hand to pick up my file and had to use his other hand to steady himself on my shoulder. He knew that shoulder hurt from an old sports injury yet still he leaned on it - very unprofessional.

Exam took a while too, but he said he had to be sure everything was ok, so I suppose that's one good thing in his favour.

I know that every time someone says, "there ought to be a law," god kills a kitten [...]

Actually, this is a case of correlation != causation. There's a hidden common factor - every time someone says "there ought to be a law", a laywer m@$#urbates.

So he reached forward with one hand, and used the other to steady himself while he was doing the prostrate exam? Since both arms are occupied that must mean that he was doing the prostate exam with... waaaitaminute.
