This is a form of harassment and is not limited to calls against public figures. I have nothing against the officers responding to the calls demanding residents to walk out slowly. They rarely know what they are stepping into. But the person causing this humiliation should be punished.

I have changed my insurance providers, but not my doctors.

Barbara Williams

We have to wait for continuity of care approval, tho it’s only for a short time, then have to find several new doctors
