Anyone bothered by surgeons reading their patient profiles?

I was just wondering if anyone is bothered by the fact that their surgeon comes here and reads their profiles and comments regarding the office staff, surgeon, etc.? I read a profile of a woman who was dropped by a surgeon for expressing her opinion regarding the unprofessional attitude of the office staff and her prospective surgeon. This bothers me. While I do not think patients have the right to slander a physician, I also think this site is mainly for us, the patients and we should be allowed to come here and express our opinions, positive or negative as long as they are not libelous or meant to slander anyone. I realize there are conditions for which a negative comment might be made, so does anyone else feel uncomfortable expressing their opinions if they aren't 100% positive about their surgeon or his staff? I don't like the fact that a secretary can read what I say and then can use that against me or hold it against me. Anyone concur?
