A publicly accessible score would mean that being a doctor means giving up privacy.
I'm not sure how it works in other countries but here there is a medical board that will hear cases and you can lose your license. I would guess a similar system exists in most places in Europe. Being brought before the board is basically like fighting a court case. I don't imagine most professions have this hanging over them combined with the amount of opportunities to get into such a situation.
I’m a founder with a failed startup behind me. It’s not like I can hide that.
If I make a mistake filing my company’s taxes or similar and it’s caught by the authorities, that will be part of the public record.
For me it’s a bit hard to understand that I should be subjected to immensely much more public scrutiny than a doctor. Why? I thought they had so much responsibility, not me.
At least here in Sweden the problem with the medical board is that they are doctors and will only revoke a license for truly egregious violations of ethical standards / law. They also look at one case at a time, so a doctor can have tens of cases representing a staggering level of unprofessionalism in total, but still keep their license.
