Doctors just assume they are having sex.
Who’s got the time after quizzing them about Dad and Mom’s guns?
Perhaps doctors don’t feel its any of their business? If the teenager has a problem or a question, they should bring it up. I’d be suspicious of any doctor trawling for info what with the new Obamacare mandates. There’s always the feeling anything you say might be used against you in some overtly political way.
Kids are smart enough to know that confidentiality is not reality. And what the hell are they going to talk about? It’s really not a hidden subject.
It doesn’t help that who knows what is recorded electronically and put in the big centralized database.
Isn’t it interesting that your whole article history is an effort to drive traffic to your Examiner blog?

EXCUSE me...but, if a “teen” doesn’t know about an STD or pregnancy....they are idiots, and probably never go to a doctor...let alone a school.
It’s not important if the teen is being diddled by a 40-year old homosexual. Leave that be.
What matters is, “Does your reactionary tea-party father have a gun in the house? What kind?”
Our doctor says University of Texas Austin has the highest numbers of STDs around. It’s a cesspool of nasties.
The lazy fools can go on the internet and educate themselves. It’s not like it’s restricted online. I’m sick of hearing about how stupid so many teenagers are these days despite the plethora of education available about all of it.
