The Bell Curve - What happens when patients find out how good their doctors really are?

Do you have any clue where on the bell curve your doctor and hospital are? Three objective data points could easily be used if anyone wanted to actually improve stroke.
1. 30day deaths
2. tPA full recovery efficacy
3. 100% full recovery
If our fucking failures of stroke associations wanted to actually do something useful having these 3 measures collected from all stroke hospitals would be a great start.
