I received an email reminding me of an upcoming doctor’s appointment that was addressed “Dear Ms/Mr Cohen.” I am one person who is male. I can be addressed as Mr. The email continued, “A member of your household has an appointment with Dr …” I am the only person who lives in my household. I have been seeing this doctor for many years. They should know who I am, who lives in my household and what my name is. The email claims that it was designed to protect my privacy. It comes across as ridiculous and that they don’t know who I am. It does not inspire confidence.
A Name Like Any Other
