She doesn't HAVE to do it. Just like a cop doesn't HAVE to give you a ticket when you get pulled over. Thanks for the laugh though. Haven't heard "troglodyte" in a long time.
She is told that she should. She is told that it makes a difference. She has your best interest at heart, most docs do not go into medicine to push a political agenda.
Being a primary care doc is not an easy job. Most PCPs work very hard for their patients. We spend hours in the office doing paper work, calling insurance companies, calling patients about results, reassuring people who are dying or seriously ill, talking to visiting nurses. Many may say "cry me a river, look what you get paid", but I'll tell you some days it just doesn't seem worth it. I know many of these medical crusaders who think they are going to save the world and are really trying hard to make a difference in the lives of their patients. These are the people who ask "the question". They work their asses off, and often do more behind the scenes than you could know. The idea that you will tell one of these good-hearted people to "**** off" for asking a question really makes me mad.

I stand with John Locke.
Me too. Want to show that the question is silly or irrelevant? The best way to prove that it is relevant is to show anger. Our issue is with the AMA or the governent not the Dr.
Meanwhile what do you think the Dr will make of your displaced aggression? Frankly I would place a call or too based on that alone...
Please think before you speak... you represent all of us...

I think after more PCP's and the AMA read the replies in this thread they may conclude that most gun owners blood pressure goes up when asked about guns, which could cause more heart attacks vs accidental gun shot wounds.

What happens after the majority of the country is on Obamacare, then the govt deems that firearms ownership is a "high-risk" activity in regards to your health and your insurablity? Then your doctor is required to provide this info to Uncle Sam? Well, that's a problem.
But there is a solution. Give up the guns in your home to remove this risk or pay 25x the "normal" premiums for your Obamacare insurance policy if we even allow you to be insured. What now? Turns out to be a not-so-benign issue after all, huh?

That sort of paranoia is sort of why I don't like to tell things with lists that I own firearms. Lists are dangerous simply because there is no way to forsee how they will be used.

I'm compiling my own list of questions for my next visit to the doctor. If they're not answered to my satisfaction I'll seek care elsewhere. Oh, but wait, under a government run health care system, we'll lose the ability to shop around won't we. They'll simply look at you and say "You'll be back." Before long the questions will be: Do you handled fireworks on the Fourth of July? Are you a classic car enthusiast? (In other words, are you a hazard because of your emissions spewing hobbies?). Tyranny, nothing less than tyranny. How did this happen?

Seriously, I hope you all have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in your homes.
(And new smoke detectors as well -- under 10 years old. The new ones even have no-change 10 year batteries.)

I was at the local hospital with my wife from 7:30pm Thursday to 5:30am Friday and she was asked if we had firearms in our home 3 or 4 times by different nurses and doctors. The other questions regarding feeling safe at home, thoughts, etc. were only asked once. This questioning seemed obviously slanted toward the "gun problem".
She looked them in the face each time and said no.
She was there for, what turned out to be, gallstones. Nothing that remotely looked like abuse or assault.

Try taking a kid to the ER. Stand back and watch the interrogations begin. I took my kid about 8 years ago for a broken arm. They separated us and started questioning. It seemed orchestrated to the point we didn't realize it was going on at first. Once I did, I got pissed and started giving them fierce crap. they backed off then.

I honestly assumed if it were in MD, it would have only been worse.
