As part of the creeping privatisation of our National Health Service, a "Tripadvisor-style" reviews site for hospitals will be rolled out over the coming year.
On the one hand, it's reasonable that patients' views about their treatment are heard. On the other, it seems a trifle unwise to judge neurosurgeons in the same way that we appraise B&Bs in the Cotswolds. On this third hand that a clearly under-qualified sawbones has accidentally stitched to my elbow, what we're looking at here is a new outlet for the thing we do best: leaving playful and/or wilfully silly reviews for things. It's practically a national pastime.
