Obama Hating Doctor is helping his patients by turning them away. He was rated poor by Vitals.Com.
Edited on Sat Apr-03-10 01:45 PM by TheBigotBasher
After posting a sign on the front door of his office telling any patients who are President Obama supporters to turn around and find a new doctor, Dr. Jack (Ass?) Cassell quickly changed his tune when asked about the sign by reporters. However, he didn’t back off the position, only claimed he wouldn’t turn anyone away.

But, Dr. Cassell might very well be doing his patients a favor by sending them elsewhere. At Vitals.com, a health care rating service, his overall rating by his patients was “Poor”, receiving a 1.0 out of 4 stars, and his wait time was well more than twice the national average of 21 minutes. He had been rated by 450 patients…

1. eh
Bunch of doctor rating sites got spammed by people who don't like what he did. Pretending those are real ratings is delusional.

4. The other way round.
His ratings were poor already.

The article goes on to say:

At least those were his ratings before this story hit the public. Suddenly Dr. Cassell has enjoyed a bit of an inexplicable bump by an additional 550 “patients” and has had his score increased to 1.5 out of 4 stars. Oddly, his wait time has also been reduced from 51 to 40 minutes, and he has been upgraded from “poor” to “fair”. What could possibly account for this sudden jump in ratings?

9. No these ratings were ones that he had before people could
great a chance to post. The ones where you are asked and then get a percentage are all together a different site. His ratings were 1.4 out of 4.

7. Most doctors do not have his selfish attitude
A poll a few months ago found that 73% of doctors either supported the public option or single payer.

Unfortunately, there is a minority of people in the profession that just go into medicine to make a lot of money and become rich.
