I saw this guy for help with seasonal affective disorder and general help with work issues. My health insurance provider indicated he was taking new patients. When I called his office they confirmed he was taking new patients. When I met with him, he and I filled out a 45 minute multiple choice questionnaire. At the end of the questionnaire he suggested that I might be gay. I laughed and asked him how he came to that conclusion. He said I was single and nearly 40. I said I was open to considering the reasons for my singleness but that it might take a few more sessions figure out any deep mysteries behind it. He said he wasn’t currently taking any new patients. I told him that his assistant and the health insurance website has both indicated that he was. He repeated that he wasn’t taking new patients, but would forward the questionnaire to anyone I wished. He later sent me a bill for $ 250. When I didn’t pay it, he referred the bill to a collections agency, messing up an otherwise perfect credit rating. He’s a shrewd businessman who has a strong sense of self importance, but don’t expect professional medical treatment from him.
