cross post with practitioner database - just trying to give the idea good exposure. mods - correct me if am committing a faux-pas.
the other day in a fit of disgust with the current obstetrical wasteland, i came up with an idea. i was thinking about creating an online zagat guide for birth related care - some place people could rate their hospita/bc and ob or midwife. the site could then help people chose better care and if powerful enough, apply a little consumer pressure on the providers of care. maybe a big wishful fantasy, but humor me ;-). well with a little help from my friend google, i found a site called "rateitall" that already has the whole thing set up (though not like i had in mind). but what do think about reviewing your site of birth and providers and then referring women/families like crazy to make this thing blow up??? check out the link below and let me know if i am deluded.

and then click on your area's (i know its limited but somewhere to start) doctors and medicine category. there are places to rate hospitals, ob/gyns, and mw under alt. medicine.
