    Just curious, why would you put a figure on the signing bonus but not the salary?

    Thanks a lot :) That’s really helpful. I’m working on adding a map view for now, but will save this for when I get there.

    The second version of https://www.physician.fyi/ , a database of doctors and other medical practitioners with their disciplinary actions for patients to check. In this version, I’m…

    Thanks! I'm looking at the Contribute page and seeing some cool ideas.

    It's fuzzy search, so the most relevant ones should be ordered correctly. I can certainly tune the threshold to not keep less relevant ones.

    Thank you. I'm going to refine the site a bit more over the next week and maybe do a second state myself to make sure my pattern generalizes well before opening up the repo, but I'…

    Sorry to hear you've also had poor experiences. I too had to delve into Pubmed to figure out what was going on with me after the doctor harmed me. Thank you for offering to help ou…

    "—more states coming soon" ;) No state publishes this depth of data machine readable. u/cobertos covered the rest in their reply.

    Thank you. I agree that even though in the US this stuff is not as available as it could be, it still beats most of the world. That's why I think allowing for patients to report th…

    So sorry that happened to you too. Thank you for signing the petition—I hope that would obviate the need for this site altogether.

    I marked the map feature beta because I noticed the geocoding wasn't accurate for all addresses. I'll get on that. I'm hesitant to just exclude ones not in the US though because it…
