 A way to get some justice restored?

I've been thinking lately.
As some here already know, I am on pins and needles and into my first ever real withdrawal. Self-inflicted, I know, but tomorrow, fingers crossed, I should be getting a proper prescription.
So it's not all that strange that I was secretly hoping for at least some Vicodins after my dental appointment today.
I've got terrible pain in my teeth (following root canal), and it seems at least the sinuses are involved.
But of course, no meds, so no early rescue.
But it got me to thinking: Even the staff was telling me I shouldn't leave in pain (been in that particular pain six months now), and even the receptionist was giving my dentist that concerned "Oh good God, you can't send someone out in pain like that!" - look, all she said was "have a nice day" - Indeed, I was in pain so I decided to celebrate! What was she thinking with that inane pleasantry?
So I sulked in my car for ten minutes. Contemplated things. Hated doctors, life, politicians, whatever.
Then I realized, what if we made a website that, for a change, kept a list of doctors and dentists known to be averse to prescribing pain meds for serious pain? I mean really put the sadistic bastards on the map for all to see, hang 'em out like the evil corporate-line-towing self-involved, shaking and scared little prikcs they are?
I am sure there's some legality issues that need looked at, but as far as I can tell, telling about one's experience only, and without resorting to namecalling (I mean, we can right here in this thread, thank goodness!) and labelling, is perfectly legal and cannot constitute libel.
What I mean is, you can legally call a doctor an insensitive bastard, but you cannot call him incompetent or a quack. But you can still get the message across.
Especially if this website, this grid, this database, whatever it is, is updated, mirrored all over the place, and above all, a result of the collaboration of hundreds of anonymous, disappointed patients who want to protect their fellow sufferers?
What's say?
My future website, painrights.com is still unused and waiting for content, but, as you may suspect, I feel like &^&^, so after I post here I generally don't feel like web designing. Maybe tomorrow, eh?
