Massey the Assey

(3)

There was another interesting feature of that visit: Kaiser wanted me to fill out another 'privacy statement.' The good doctor, it seemed to me, tried to influence me to 'renounce' privacy, even going so far as to check the operative box. I refused to sign. I stated that only one person (Kootch) was to be given information from my medical records, and that no information was to be given over the telephone. The good doctor then scratched out that box.

What are we to make of this? I think (conjecture) that Kaiser knows about this blog and is attempting to protect itself from possible legal (tap) liability regarding any personal health information I might 'release' in this blog. Seems reasonable, but obviously any information I release can be easily documented by simply reading this blog. All other true information must have been obtained illegally.

One last interesting feature of this 'white knuckle encounter' with Kaiser Permanente was the revelation, by the nurse, that Doctor Massey had been assigned as my 'primary physician.'

Sheeit! Massey was the Kaiser doctor who had called the ACSD and lied to them! Massey was the person responsible for putting Kaiser Permanente at risk for the charge of False Imprisonment! Massey was the physician responsible for putting Kaiser Permanente at risk for a very juicy lawsuit! And Kaiser was assigning Massey as my 'primary physician!?'

I told the nurse, simply, that (stomp) 'Doctor Massey is not acceptable.'
