Patient Profile?

(2)

You may recall that Dr. Massey (The Assey) actually had me arrested by the ACSD after a similar assertion by me. So I see a definite uptrend here. I wonder if the day will ever come when some intrepid Kaiser physician actually ventures to address the question. I doubt it. I think that Kaiser has a 'patient profile' (tap) area in each patient's computer file and that mine reads something like this:

'Patient has been diagnosed delusional by Kaiser. Claims he is being stalked by Walter Gerash a well known JEWISH LAWYER. May be dangerous to himself and others. Avoid discussing the subject if at all possible. Call the ACSD if he appears angry and frustrated. Be advised patient records all office visits on a voice recorder. Remember: Walter Gerash is a LAWYER. Patient is NOT. Walter Gerash is JEWISH. Patient is only half Irish.'

By the way, I learned from a pamphlet Kaiser gave me recently that Dr. Massey is the recommended primary care physician for HIV patients. This fits with my impression, based on my one and only visit with Massey, that he is a homosexual.

Am I correct that Kaiser has such a 'patient profile?' If so, that is outrageous. But I could be wrong. It could be that Gerash somehow 'got to' those physicians who worried about my gassey neighbors, and that they were only providing a service to Gerash based on a monetary 'gift.' There could well be other explanations too, of course.
