The Pinnacle of Success

Walking toward the entrance of the Viceroy, a luxury Santa Monica hotel, I noticed half a dozen parking valets gathered around their supervisor who was giving instructions. As I passed, he paused and pointed: “Look at him. That’s our hotel doctor. You let him park wherever he wants.”

 This happened in July of 2003, but I still remember the pleasure it gave me. When the parking valets grant you a free pass, there are no more worlds to conquer.

The End

 I've decided to end this blog because almost no one is reading it. Here's the story. I began writing about my hotel doctor experiences in 2009. Everything went fine, and I received plenty of feedback until a year or so ago when my clicks suddenly dropped to nearly zero. Nothing changed except I'd occasionally receive a cryptic message from Google that it had detected "new coverage issues" or was "validating" certain coverage issues. Google blog has no customer service, but I appealed to blog forums and read that maybe Google had stopped indexing my posts. There followed suggestions for fixing this which were very technical and incomprehensible. This year I decided to end the blog (The Hotel Doctor) and begin a new one with a new name (The Housecall Doctor) and under a different e-mail. Maybe Google would treat is as a new blog and index it. But Google was not fooled. Over the past three months, the most clicks a post received was five - and some were pr

Introduction - but this is not a new blog

Here's the story. I began making hotel and housecalls in Los Angeles in 1978. By the 1990s I was doing it full time. Ultimately I made over 18,000, and no one will ever match that because there was little competition in the early days. Today there’s plenty. I began a blog, The Hotel Doctor (thehoteldoctor.blogspot.com) in 2009. I posted regularly and enjoyed a good response until something weird happened. My page views dropped almost to zero; after a few months a post might acquire a dozen clicks. At the same time, cryptic E-mails from the “Google Search Console Team” began arriving. They   had detected “mobile usability issues” or that they were “validating coverage issue fixes” and would inform me when they had finished. I had no idea what was happening. Google has no blog customer service, but I appealed to several support groups and learned that Google apparently had stopped indexing my posts. They had plenty of suggestions for fixing this, many I couldn’t understand, and non

A Dog-Eat-Dog Business, Part 11

  “This is Doctor Oppenheim,” I repeated several times before hanging up. Caller ID identified the Doubletree in Santa Monica, so I phoned to ask if someone had requested a doctor. Someone had. “You answered, but you couldn’t hear me,” said the guest. “So I called the front desk again, and they gave me a different number. Another doctor is coming.” That was upsetting because the Doubletree is a regular. When asked, the guest gave me the 800 number of Hotel Doctors International, a service based in Miami. “How much are they charging?” I asked. “I don’t know. They just asked if I had insurance.” That was a red flag. Many hotel doctor agencies charge spectacular fees and then assure guests that travel insurance will reimburse them. Forewarned of our rapacious medical system, foreign travelers rarely make a fuss – and foreign travel insurance generally pays outrageous fees. But American insurance doesn’t. I told the guest, an American, that my fee was $300 and that he should ca
