RefuG,

I have complained many times about bad doctors to the state board of medicine, and I have received the same response, as if it's all my fault and that no reasonable person would ever make a complaint about that perfect doctor. How Dare I complain about that salt of the earth doctor sitting at the right hand of god!

I once had a medical doc bring into the exam room a balding man, wearing golfing clothes, and then try to convince me to let this man stay during my examination with me in a paper dress because, in the doctor's words, "He wants to study medicine!"

The complaint I wrote would have burned the reader's hands, but the state did nothing to that doctor. Instead, I received a letter telling me that I was forbidden to see any of the doctors in that entire building.

The point is, you did the right thing by complaining, and whoever tells you that 'nobody has ever complained against that doctor in the history of the world' is feeding you bullshit. Bad doctors have people to cover up for them until they eventually lose their licenses. Patients should know more about other patients' experiences!
