I was working relief for a friend of mine at another hospital. She's the director of her division, and when the caller asked to speak to the manager, I was handed the phone. It was phishy all right. There was this guy with a definitely non-native accent asking for my input in a policy-making board of my peers from a country far away. All he wanted was my e-mail address so that he could send me the information right away in return for a small consultancy fee (his remuneration). No thanks! Even I know when to do as told; my teen-aged computer geek son told me years ago not to hand out my address to just any old requester.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

We must stamp out and remove all redundancy!
A nice family, a steady job, and a quiet home in the country?
Could this be one of those phishing e-mails?
When you said vague I instantly figured it out. It's the Obamacare website!
I am pretty sure... almost positive... I worked with those guys in the Department of Redundancy Department!
I got something similar. It was a fake dropbox email. This is a phishing scam.
