For those of you who've read my posts over the years, you know I've had a problem with doctors (one in particular) spreading confidential information. It happened again. It was at a local restaurant; he was so brazen that he talked about me when I was within earshot.
So, I got online and emailed a complaint to the Office of Civil Right, a division of the HHS department. That was a couple days ago. How long do you think until I hear back from them? Will I hear back from them?
I can't sue because this sort of thing is almost impossible to prove. I just want some official organization to say "hey, we're on to you--this isn't cool."
Ugh. Input appreciated, as always.

I honestly have no idea? So same doc did it just recently? I'd imagine they will first see if any other complaints filed and hopefully investigate? Could take a while. I wonder what google says about the process? Phillipa

Anytime I wish to file a complaint, I study the complaint for:
1. Time/Value: If my personal power is my ability to make a difference, what difference will my complaint make??? ...and at what expense (of time and/or $$$)???
2. I conjecture that the success or failure of my efforts to make a difference, my thoughts must pass the "acid" test of my irrational/real filter... Anytime my wisdom is being imparted on the outside world, I want it to stick... Things that stick 9 times outta 10 remain sturdy if, and only if, they fit in reality... I am aware that I am chock full-up of the irrational and the un-real which invariably fails my wisdom test...
3. Most recently, my journey on my road to fitness has given me a bumper sticker motto to follow in the form of "AVOID AVOIDANCE!!!"... I must now study what I might be AVOIDING this time that's causing me so much concern... A) Am I AVOIDING a confrontation over the substance of my complaint for fear I might look silly??? B) Am I complaining as if I am so puny in my own eyes that only certifiably important people can make a difference after taking up my cause, thus I can sidestep (AVOID) failure (and disgrace)??? C) The "wrong" I see needing correcting may have others angry enough to add weight to my issues... Therefore is my laziness getting in my way, thus my AVOIDANCE is causing me to overlook an obvious solution already in the making??? D) Is my arrogance causing AVOIDANCE of any historically practical solution to my complaint, based on an assumption that no one is smart/wise enough to see the problem??? E) Is my evaluations of the problem and available solutions slating that "everyone else" is toooo lazy to do anything about my problems, so I can arrogantly AVOID any other possible options??? F) Shouldn't I AVOID the whole mess because all this crap is toooo much trouble and toooo much hard work???
<<< Hopefully I can AVOID being hit by a "cross-town" bus long enough to find my stride and my POWER (my ability to make a difference) and my STRENGTH (my ability to withstand), all the time accepting that I can''t AVOID my eventual passing...
