But that doesn't appear to be stopping them from trying. Perhaps they will use your gmail account as your unique medical identifier. :) Hopefully they will prioritize "the end user experience" from a different perspective when they enter the medical records market.

Yahoo local has lots of problems and bad information also, Miriam. It just doesn't get the traffic and visability that google gets. LOL.

I saw what you posted in a screenshot within the Google Maps. That is so wierd and so revealing of some of the problems that pop up in Google maps. Some strange element in Google maps is automatically adding data from another source into that which you entered in the LBC. On top of the information about the other doctor is the website connected with the other doctor which includes a search function for other doctors. How did that website get added into the mix by Google? How frustrating. Even beginning to search for where the error and other information might be originating would be trying. I hope you report this in Google groups. How long will it take to correct the problem? Where is the customer service function that can correct these issues? Never mind the question above.
