    Michael, thanks for sharing. That's pretty funny! :) (Though I know it must be irritating for the hospital)

    Michael: Within one day Google repaired the problem for Duke, but all else are hanging on the limb.

    I guess Googles efforts to present an accurate source for information on the web also reflect who you are and what you do.

    Everyone else is subject to second class treatment.

    No, I think it has more to do with how bad the press is for G and how they look. Yes, who you are and what you do can indeed affect how bad you can make G look, but that is probably the only actual deciding factor. I have other evidence to back this one up.
