Just wondering, what are people's thoughts on writing a negative online review of an individual (doctor on one of those sites where you can review doctors)? The doctor in question already has quite a few very negative online reviews (more than positive reviews), and I have already brought up issues to the way in which patients are treated and regarded in person at the time to no avail (unfortunately it's not explicit misconduct so I can't report it to an authority). I don't care about revenge/getting back at a person, but rather accountability. Using the university's health service last week only reminded me of the stark contrast.

EDIT: I recently did a bit of internet searching to find that the doctor has been disqualified for six months 13 years ago and had to repay $70,000+ dollars for 'inappropriate conduct of a serious nature'.

Maybe try writing a formal letter of complaint to the place the doctor works at (assuming its a medical clinic with multiple doctors)? At least then there would be some sort of paper trail assuming they don't throw it out...

You could write an online review but if it's going to say pretty much the same thing as the other complaints, and the other complaints are recent, then it probably won't mean much. I would still do it though.

Unfortunately not, the clinic is only him and his wife, which is why he is almost completely unaccountable (unless in cases of malpractice which he got in trouble with a while back. This is why I had to tell him in person (politely but still specific and direct), to which he basically banned me from going to him as a result (not that I care anymore but he's unaccountable).

My review is probably going to be more specific than the other ones out there like some of the stuff he said (I've already brought these issues up with him before to which he had a chance to respond but chose to ban me instead) and I may link the medical board document (sadly many patients and prospective ones wouldn't see these things) since some of the sloppy diagnosis and keeping of medical record stuff are still true.

The realisation that I have 192 slides for a 2 hour lecture.

Is a train an express when it has to cut stations to get to the end of the line on time? 🤔

Also I think it is disgusting that my train line runs every 40mins between 6 and 10am on a Sunday and still manage to be late at the second station in. 😂

For some reason, I prefer the Times New Roman on Pages rather than Word- they're the same font, yet why do they look so different?

Do all those lyrics websites just steal their lyrics from each other? I was looking up the lyrics to a song, but they're wrong. All the lyrics on the various sites I looked at are the lyrics to a song with the same name by a different band. Hmph. I am disappointed in lyrics sites

Edit: I just transcribed the lyrics and I'm going to fix the lyrics sites
Twinemen -- In My Head
I’m only human
Whispered in the night
From the other side of the room
Just across the bed

You know how you can tell
Something ain’t right
With a twist so tightly curled
That you believe the light instead

But it’s all
In my head
It’s all
In my head

Now you find yourself
Sitting bolt upright
Not knowing where you are
In the middle of the night

It seems impossible
There’s no two alike
But you see your lover’s face
In the face of your wife

And it’s all
In my head
All
In my head
In my head
It’s all
It’s all
It’s all
In my head

Here comes a bitter wind
Up my spine
It sends me into shivers
With your hands like ice
It’s hard now to remember how this felt before
It’s hard now to remember when we became this metaphor

But it’s all
In my head
It’s all
In my head
In my head
It’s all
All
It’s all
In my head
In my head (in my head)
In my head
In my head (in my head)
In my head, in my head

Sorry boring answer :P

Text can look different on different devices/ screens due to their settings.

It may be the contrast, sharpness and clarity (kinda like how pictures look different on diff screens). In some cases such as windows, there are things like DPI scaling ^^

Side note:
The way PC's, Mac's and phones show text can vary a little :P (Don't ask me for the technicalities )

Don't get me started on how you're able to do the cart surfer game on club penguin rewritten- it runs entirely too fast on my laptop >:(

Too bad my attention span and patience isn't sufficient to get that purple stamp though

I'm convinced that my laptop doesn't want me to study.
I had to answer an important call and it updated itself.
Been making angry moose noises at it since. 😂
