A physician's (and private citizen's) right to privacy against internet data brokers: Maintaining safety in an unsafe profession

As an EM physician of 20  years, I have never felt as threatened by anything as I have by opportunists of the insidious electronic information superhighway. Looking back, I have had my life threatened multiple times. I have been told by a patient that he was going to get his gun and return to shoot me. I have been called every derogatory name that someone could come up with directed at people of Asian descent. I have had to jump out of the way of patients who were trying to assault me. I have had to hide out of sight from angry patients who threatened me with physical harm.
