29. What other ideas do you have about how this site could
be improved?
Listing doctors randomly would ensure that doctors
with last names that occur late in the alphabet
would not be at a disadvantage when it comes to
getting new patients. I could easily see how most
new visitors would tend to choose doctors on the
first page or two of the search results.
