'They Can Sue, But They Can't Hide'

Posted by timothy on from the all-out-in-the-open dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The New York Times (free reg's yada, yada) has this article about Texas doctors running an online blacklist of patients who have sued. The searchable database is at doctorsknow.us. Nice to know that you can get blacklisted for suing the doctor that caused massive brain damage to your kid (and winning)." To add a plaintiff to the database, membership was not always required.

    Please submit your summaries with a valid Slashdot id and a valid NYT email address, and try not to hide. We know who you have financial interest in the NYT. You can stop astroturfing now.

    According to netcraft

    The site www.doctorsknow.us is running Apache/1.3.29 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.3 on Linux.

    For some reason thought these guys were sure to be running Microsoft products. Guess I have too much of the slashdot bias.

    That won't happen because it's the NYT who writes and submits practically all of the stories that link to their website.

    If you didn't have as many assholes out there pulling bullshit cases and getting exhorbitant "awards" - You wouldnt have the Democratic party. Those crooked funds are helping to fight the Republicans and potentially oust president George W Bush. Do your country a favour, get injured and sue.

    I'll just point out about the hand washing thing that urine is pretty sterile, and touching the knob that people who've just wiped their asses have touched to shut off the water after you've finished rinsing off the, i remind you clean, splashback from the urnial is pretty bass ackwards.
