In part four of the questionnaire you ask some questions about the MDs', and that may be more useful if identifiers of the MDs' (like contact phone number, license number, etc.) are also provided. After all, what does it matter if we know the statistics of how many MDs' know about CH, misdiagnose, etc. if we don't have the identifiers that will enable us to avoid MDs' that never heard of CH, or that are uncaring, thereby saving us money and pain? In my case $30,000 or more over the years, with the MDs' never refunding a penny for the useless and unknowledgeable treatment; I guess there should be a "lemon law" for MDs'.
I have done some work in the area of performance reports of MDs' and hospitals that may give you ideas. Please check out the following URL: www.medicalconsumers.org
