The People Behind My Eyes

Before The Police Get Here
Friday, March 31, 2006

9:02 AMI try to learn from past mistakes. I figure when people give me access to tools that might make my life a bit easier I'd be foolish to not take advantage of those tools. With the new therapist, who is actually a psychologist, I’ll be looking up his record of treatment online. There is a web site that I can look and see if he has sanctions or any criminal accusations or convictions. If I'd known about this site and had I known it is a cheap as it is I could have saved myself some serious heartache some years back. There was one psychiatrist that had more history and drama than Young And The Restless or Days of Our Lives could ever create. I got the details of her child custody battle (horrible) as well as a bunch of other stuff that drove home that she shouldn’t be allowed to treat even a turnip. When I look this man up I'm looking for criminal activity as well as sanctions in his practice. The person I looked up after the fact was more of a bitch than I thought she was. Her office was so cold that I use to say she kept it that way so the ice in her veins wouldn’t thaw out. I will be using this tool for any medical professional that I see (mental health as well as physical health). I don’t do credit checks or to see if they’ve ever had a car repoed or anything like that. I just want to know if they’re being sued or if there has ever been any legitimate cause for complaint. Are they sleeping with clients, are they self medicated, do they moonlite as a hooker, is the FBI watching their house, etc. Like I said, this pdoc I use to see had some serious drama, oh my God she had drama.

I know that people hate that you can pretty much find out “anything” about “anyone” online but you know what, what’s terrible is that you HAVE to find these things out now days. You have to look people up so you don’t have the shock of your life when you’re in a session and they come and drag their ass away while you’re trying to talk about how your Mama pulled your hair when you were six. It’s kind of disruptive when the cops barge in and take a “professional” out in cuffs. I'm trying to heal, I just don’t need that. I want to avoid stuff like that at all costs. I’ve split enough; I don’t want to have to create a new personality to deal with my therapists issues. That’s just not necessary so hey, I looking people up anymore. It’s amazing what a few bucks can do for you these days.

There are so many advertisements about online investigative services but as I’ve been reading they are usually scams. If you decided to use one of these services please make sure you read up on online investigators. There is some shocking, misleading, rip off, quack stuff out there. Remember, you can’t always believe what you read unless you’re reading it from an accredited site. Look for a well known and respected accreditation symbol on whatever site you use. A Google search of just the term “people search” will give you information on ALL background check sites, the good and the bad. They will also give you a list of sites that explain the dangers of using people search sites. When looking up a doctor go straight to the source, use sites such as the American Medical Association and it’s affiliates. The cost is more but worth it.http://www.ratemds.com/
