Cosmetic Surgeon Insurance: Emerging Threat to Cosmetic Surgeons – On the Internet!

Not sure about the need for a cosmetic surgeon insurance? Read the following article and think again...

In a competitive field like cosmetic surgery, reputation is a physician's most valuable asset. Physicians spend years developing expert skills and building strong reputations. There is, however, a new threat that can destroy in days what one spent years building. That threat is Internet libel.

In the past year, the Internet has seen an explosion of "physician rating" websites and blogs where patients (or anyone really) can slam their doctor anonymously. Physicians and medical societies across the country and around the world have condemned this practice as unfair and dangerous.

So what can be done? Unfortunately, the legal precedent protects these websites from legal action. Additionally, patient-physician confidentiality as well as the anonymous nature of the posts make successful sanctioning of the patient unlikely.

Fortunately, MedicalJustice has developed a solution to this issue, and they've already seen excellent success. They recommend every physician periodically check out websites like ratemds.com and healthgrades.com.

They recommend every physician also periodically Google their name and investigate to see what's out there. Whether or not there's anything out there now, Medical Justice proprietary programs can help you prevent future libel of your good name on the Internet.
