I can understand being upset about the gun question, but smoke detectors?
Part of me thinks it would be hilarious to answer these questions with the most random answers i could ever imagine. The looks on their face would be priceless.
Nothing I have seen from the AMA about this recently. They DO recommend that we ask these questons. It is just a recommendation. Some people do take what the AMA says to heart.
Why let this kind of dumb stuff get in the way of getting good healthcare? Just say no, and move along. It is of no consequence.
Many, many years ago a priest relayed this story: Kid selling magazines - you know, high priced. The priest said he could not afford them. He had the money...
He posed the question: Did he lie?
Answered "lying is a falsehood told to someone who deserves to know the truth". I've taken this to heart.
teratos is right, as are the others I quoted. Give them the answer that is least offensive to you. Yes, I have smoke detectors. Yes, I walk to work. No, I do not fly private planes. No. I don't own firearm(s). Get on with the exam.
