After Jewel's opening song, she introduced Steve as her friend, asked the audience if they liked him, to which there was hearty applause. "They were good to you tonight, baby," she told Poltz. Poltz has a talent of involving the audience. Though he played several songs from his new CD, "One Left Shoe," the crowd's favorite was probably his "Star Wars" song. It's a somewhat disrespectful, but hilarious homage to Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Yoda and Luke Skywalker. The crowd's favorite part? Roaring like Chewbacca. Jewel might not be back in Salt Lake City for a while, but Poltz promised to return for a solo gig after his yearlong tour with Jewel. We'll look forward to his return, either under his name or as the lead singer of Rugburns, his other band. The pins are an adjunct. We had to close the Grand Canyon' and maintain that relation ship."

"Most of the time these days, you look in your managed-carbook and it's like throwing said Dr. Marvin darts," Lipman, chief medical adviser to Consumer Reports maga- Compiled from a variety of sources, here are tips on how to pick a doctor. Except where specified, the sources listed provide free information. Many health plans restrict your choice of doctors, so that list is your starting point. Nurses can be among e the best sources. Likewise, family and friends can essentially prescreen doctors for zine. "It's a question that has a variety of answers, none of which is totally satisfactory," you. Use the Internet to Lipman said. What consumers really need to know is how good a job a doctor does helping his patients stay healthy. That information doesn't exist yet, though some states are pioneering efforts to capture such data. New York, for example, tracks and publishes the death rates for patients of the state's cardiac surgeons. "Fortunately now you can get a lot of this information on the Internet," said Michael Donio of the People's Medical Society, a national consumer health-car- e education and advocacy organization.

"Most doctors will be happy to answer questions." If you find one who isn't, or have one who isn't, maybe it's time to shop around. "One important mistake that people make is to stick with a doctor with whom they're not comfortable," said Dr. Carolyn Clancy, director of the Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research at the federal Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. Here are some key points to consider when searching for a new doctor. Disciplinarian information Information on disciplinary actions taken by state medical boards is public and more accessible than ever. Keep in mind, though, that only a small percentage of doctors are ever disciplined. The odds are you'll never run into a doctor who's been in trouble with the licensing board. Not all disciplinary actions are equally serious. You'll want to know whether the case involved an administrative oversight by the doctor, or professional misconduct. Complaints filed against doctors are not public information. Only final disciplinary actions, taken after an investi- - learn about a doctor's background. Many now have public-acces- s computers and librarians who can help with your search. Some of the information the Internet includes: Board certification sta- tus. Many doctors consider board certification an important credential. Check certification for major specialities at a state licensing board. Contact your state's medical board or board of medical examiners for more information. A commercial service, Medi-Ne- t http:www.askmedi.c om collects disciinformation plinary from all state medical boards. The cost for a search is $12.50 if you use the company's Web site or $17 if you call them at (888) 275334. D Whatever of the disciplinary information, you'll want to know if the action involved an administrative matter, like missing a deadline to renew a license, or more serious professional misconduct. After you've narrowed your list to perhaps three or four doctors, call their offices to request a to 10-minu- te 15-minu- te Malpractice Like disciplinary actions, malpractice complaints in the form of lawsuits are likely to be few and far between. And there is no one source for this information. The consumer group Public Citizen notes that while hospital officials and medical boards have access to a national database of doctors who have paid malpractice claims, that information is kept secret from the ed session. Doctors interested in adding new patients should agree to such meetings at no charge. O Questions you might want to ask: Will always see you, or will sometimes be referred to a partner or a physician assistant? Can consult with you by phone, and do you schedule time to return phone calls? What kinds of procedures do you do in the office, and which do you refer out?

St...ft to know for sure whether a doctor has been sued for malpractice. Some doctors argue that lawsuit information is largely irrelevant to consumers anyway. Lawsuits are only allegations until the cases are tried. And the majority are settled privately out of court and the terms kept confidential. When to get a specialist If you have a good relation- ship with your primary-car- e doctor, chances are you'll be comfortable relying on his public. Lawsuits are public records advice when he refers you to a that you can check at the specialist. But it's reasonable offices of state and federal to ask a specialist how often he court clerks.
