the world has officially gone mad

i recently made an appointment with an allergy doctor here in my new state because my old allergy doctor who has seen me time and again for years decided he was going to be a goddamn prick (read: a normal doctor) and not authorize refills on my medication without an in-person visit. i guess i needed to switch doctors anyway, but this certainly gave me a reason.

the new doctor has a pretty extensive website, on which there are forms to print off and fill in for the first visit. at first i didn't like this, but the more i thought about it, it's pretty sweet. i can fill the forms out in my underwear on the couch and it cuts down my time in the office. nice.

so i'm reading the privacy disclaimer they make you sign about when they can release your medical information, etc. it's all pretty standard, except for one paragraph, which most likely is indicative to the fact that the end of the world is almost upon us:

we may disclose your health information to authorized federal officials who are conducting national security and intelligence activities or providing protective services to the president or other important officials.

[new allergy doctor]: no officer, [dicta] couldn't possibly have hijacked that plane and guided it into that building. that muthafucka's allergic to dust!
