Really? Then what is it about if its not about OPs link? The patient is getting sued because the dr billed for a procedure that wasnt performed and the patient complained publicly.
No, (if you bother to even take a second to read the complaint filed in the lawsuit) the lawsuit is not just about her personal experience but about her also posting about how this is happening to other patients when she in fact has no knowledge that it was or did happen. She made that part up in her own little mind. That is what got her in trouble. As I and others have attempted to point out, if she would have stopped at her own experience, no lawsuit would have occurred. Now do you understand what we are discussing? Once again, read the bolded portion so you don't keep injecting whats wrong with the latest Barbie fashion when we're discussing the business failure of Toys-R-Us!

You’re such a nice person arent you? Anyone that critizes modern medicine on many of these threads gets put down. Typical of the supporters of current medical practice. Thank you.
What about Hipaa? He published her medical records?
According to the complaint, that is part of the defamation. She claims the doctor published her records but the doctor counters that it never happened. The only thing the press has reported is a response comment from the doctor to her negative review that basically said the ailments she complained about far exceeds what an annual checkup can diagnose. Since she has deleted the reviews and comments, we'll never know what she said and how he responded until the evidence is presented in court.
THAT is why I rarely give reviews, and, on the rare occasions when I do make my thoughts known, I almost always state "In My Opinion" or "IMO".
The only time I will ever state something as a fact is when I have ironclad, copper-bottomed PROOF of the facts of the matter!
In today's litigious society, one could get sued if they gave a glowing, "what a wonderful place" review, and somebody else had a terrible experience with them. It is quite possible that the new customer could sue because they believed your glowing review and patronized the place based purely on your review.
Many years ago, when I was a first-line supervisor for a large plant, we were told that we could not give a personal recommendation for anybody, ever. We could state that the person worked there from this date to that date, and we could state what their job was, but we could not describe the person's work ethic, skill level, personal habits, etc. That plant had lost a lawsuit when another company hired a person based on a recommendation given from them, and the person proved to be nothing like the recommendation stated.
Even eBay and Amazon reviews most often consist of "The item was shipped in a timely fashion, IMO, and it does the job I bought it to do."
The article says:
Quote:
“Very poor and crooked business practice,” Levine wrote in the review. “I suspect that this doctor gives unnecessary procedure [sic] to a lot of people and then charges the insurance sky high prices and no one knows the difference.
The word "suspect" is the equivalent of saying, "In my opinion". She did not state it as a fact.
But, the woman did! What part of "no manual exam" don't you get?
I'm assuming by your name you've been to gyno before
I read what she claimed, but since I wasn't there during her exam, I have no idea what was done. I assume YOU were there, since you're so sure what happened. That or you take every Yelp comment as Immutable Truth....

Once the complaint is filed it doesn't matter what anyone "thinks", it moves to the land of lawyers and our legal system where common notions of fairness and justice are quickly dispelled. She is going to get put in the wringer, and that is the whole purpose of the exercise. The lawyers involved will probably laugh about it at the country club.
