Doctor Interrogation warning!

[Indiana Jones]

I never painted all DRs or all med techs - just folks that blindly ask meaningless questions.




Someone needs to grow up and stop acting like a child but you are amusing me.



I am not even a little worked up (can't say the same for you can we?)

I have always stated I have NO ISSUE answering the question just don't see the purpose.

It's like my Plummer asking me what kind of gas I use in my car - totally unrelated and useless information. I know big smart important doctors know everything and should help anyone that isn't an MD through all of their life.

Is it painful?

I sense a punchline. Go ahead fire away.

Speaking of brainless

I re-read my original post and I owe the DRs on this forum an apology.

They have done nothing but try to explain why some DRs ask the question and didn't deserve my comment.

Better get use to it. They want to know everything about all of us. Because if they know they can control. Thats the bittom line. Control

"They" seem to do an awful lot.

And THAT was my entire point. All is well.

It's really not the doctors I worry about. It's about what could happen to the information they collect.

Since the insurance companies have access to the information, what's to say gun ownership won't be treated the same way as smoking, high cholesterol, or hypertension?

Now, what did I do with my Reynolds Wrap?

I agree with you. Thats a valid concern.

Just at the doctor Monday, as a new patient,no such questions posed.

Screwy. Best answer is No. Never held a gun. Not her business.

One can see that unsecured firearms and a lack of smoke detectors share a common trait. Both statistically elevate danger in the home. insurers and others will likely do more of this.

 

[cowboy321]

exactly.
Insurers will want a surcharge for gun owners. They often do the financial pay out for accidental shootings in a home in a civil case. Believe it or not.

Funny, Med star is killing all the GP's down here. wonder if it is a med star thing? I go to Dr. trottier and flannagen and they never asked me those questions.

You will see more and more employed physicians. Best decision I ever made was to be employed and not on my own. I do my job and go home, without having to worry about anything.

Its not a Medstar thing. All Electronic record programs have a place to ask about firearms. Medstar does not require any of us ask it.

Next time you see your doc, make sure to stress that you DO NOT own firearms......

That was a true statement...the first time I met with my newest physician...

Firearms hardly make the cut until they make gang banging age.

I tell my kids to leave blank any question from school, etc. regarding firearms in the home. If pressed further, deny. It's not any of their business and not pertinant to what's being applied. I abhor dishonesty, and my kids know that. To ask a question which shouldn't be asked is even worse. With regard to my doctor, how does his treating me make him a good judge of what firearms I may have? How does that help him treat me? Same deal.
I just don't answer.
