Online reviews by patients are almost always useless and have near zero correlation with actual evidence-based medicine care quality. Studies have shown that patient satisfaction is most impacted by whether the doctor writes a prescription, regardless of whether the patient really needs one. Apparently patients like to feel they're getting something for their money.

      That's in relation to "acute lower respiratory symptoms". To generalize this to "people want a prescription" isn't even valid, but there's even less to connection to "severe pain caused by the doctor rushing it". That guy isn't complaining about too little being done, but too much being done in too few minutes. I've personally seen this, from the nurse perspective, only with a tracheoscopy. The patient screamed so loud people were rushing to the windows of the dental clinic across the street. That's nearly 20 years ago and I still remember it, I still know the weather and time of day and what wing of the building it was in. Anyway, I'm not sure what evidence-based quality [sic] you're thinking of, but if it doesn't involve any testimonies at all, it's probably worthless. I wouldn't know, since you didn't post a even shred of evidence for > Online reviews by patients are almost always useless and have near zero correlation with actual evidence-based medicine care quality. And you also just say "Online review", as if that video was just some anonymous oneliner in a textarea. While I'm sure there's something to be said about the accuracy of "online reviews", I very much doubt one could defend a more relevant phrasing such as > Testimonies by patients are almost always useless and have near zero correlation with assessment of medical care quality based on evidence other than patient testimony.

  Did you even watch the video?? When the patient says his doctor rushed his colonoscopy which only lasted 5 minutes and that he was in extreme agony through the procedure, i'm going to believe the patient. That's a terrible service.
