A few months ago I received a letter from a hospital in a city nearby where I had gone for care over a decade ago. Apparently, my medical and personal information, along with several thousand others, which was on microfiche, had been found dumped in a public park! The medical record disposal company had dumped it rather than shredding as they were supposed to do. http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/07/12/r...n-dallas-park/

I received a year's subscription to a privacy protection service. So far, so good. I am also very careful to not put my social security number on things.

I think I will take Kitty's advice about not filling out new paperwork each year unless something has changed. If they don't want my $$ money for the appt if I won't fill out the things, then that's fine, too. I think it's time to start "drawing lines in the sand!"
