If your insurance pays for you to see the doctor, and it’s a serious issue, DEMAND your appointment be with the doctor. Mine is booked six months in advance and I’m an established patient, so I’ve decided the best thing to do is find a new doctor who doesn’t tell her nurse she’s too busy to deal with me and I can see anyone else. Mind you, she said it in Spanish and the nurse tried to make it sound nicer. It wasn’t nice.

Set your privacy settings on Facebook, if nowhere else. Don’t post anything publicly. Don’t accept new “friends” you do not know personally. Be wise. Also, it’s no one’s business that you filed for disability. Your doctors and lawyer, if you chose that route, are the only people who should be privy to this information. Also, please be aware that they already do this in the United Kingdom. They have people investigate you and your whereabouts. Personally, I find this deplorable beyond words.
