Yeah, I have been wanting to find a new doctor but I have been putting it off. That is one of those things that is kind of annoying, and little time consuming if you don't have another doctor in mind. Well something happened yesterday that may spur my search.
Yesterday I had an appointment with my doctor - nothing major, just a sinus infection and I wanted to consult with him about my ever present fatigue. So I made an early appointment and actually got there on time. 
A patient comes out of the inner office and informs me "They're moving pretty fast today." I was happy to hear that because I had been there many times when I had to wait for hours, part of the reason I want to find a new doctor. I thought. "Cool, maybe I will get in and out of here today." Well I did kind of get in and out...

"Cool, maybe I will get in and out of here today." Well I did kind of get in and out...I was sitting in the waiting room, looking over some books the office staff or some patients left, when in walks some guy carrying a box followed quickly by about 4 or 5 other guys. I didn't really pay them any attention right away - didn't really look at them other than in my field of vision I had noticed the box. I though it was strange but whatever - thought it might be a drug rep. They are always in and out of doctors offices. Well this guy greets the receptionist, I look up and see that these guys are cops and then the first guy says, "We're here to execute a search warrant." What? Huh? WTF!! So what doyou do when your doctor's office is being raided?
The cops put all the office staff in seperate rooms. One cop took down my information, and asked why I was seeing the doctor today (also asked if I was there to get prescription refills - Two thoughts, hasn't he heard of HIPPA, patient privacy 
and AHA! maybe a clue??) and then I was free to go - after he checked with his superior officer. I didn't hear why the office was being searched, and I didn't ask. I figured that they probably wouldn't tell me and I didn't want to get in the way. So I was in and out of there, but I didn't get to see the doctor. I left puzzled, shocked, pissed and sick. 
What a wasted trip.
