Rating doctors online is causing headache to doctors…

Just like Rate my Professor which I posted below, there are also many websites where patients can rate their experience with a certain doctor, or post their reviews of the office visit, etc. One of those sites is http://www.ratemds.com/social/ 

I read in the news that many doctors are forcing their patients sign a letter stating they will not post reviews or ratings about this particular doctor online.. Here is the news article: http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090304/ap_on_hi_te/med_gagging_patients

I wonder if teachers and professors will start doing the same thing? I think nobody should sign this type of agreement, and everyone has a right to post their experiences with a certain doctor or professor and warn others if they see something wrong, or feel they are being cheated…
