Keep in mind that if your doctor decides you are a danger he/she can report it, and you will lose your 2nd amendment rights.
A careless joke and the sheriff will come by to pick them up.
Because they consider veterans to be potential terrorists.
Besides normal concerns about the agenda by the Public Health lobbies, we now have Obamacare. I can’t trust that what is said stays in house anymore.
In other words, most questions I’ll answer with “I don’t want to be in a government database thanks to Obamacare so I’ll decline comment, Doc.”
Doc, every bit of my home is constructed entirely of lethal weapons, knives, swords, crossbows, cannons, there's a tank in the garage and I'm rebuilding an Apache helicopter in my backyard.
Every door handle is a fully functional .45.
The false premise is that guns are a “health risk”.
They aren’t, any more than fire extinguishers are.
If I'm asked this question, my standard response will be, "I thought the Kenyan dictator confiscated everybody's guns".
Where do these stats come from? I have never heard of a gun owner that I know of having any problems with their guns harming anyone.
Here’s my answer to a Doctor or Nurse who asks me if I have any firearms in my home:
“I don’t discuss my personal or family security measures with anybody but members of my family.”
Matson asks her patients about guns during their routine check-ups. She gives them a seven-page questionnaire that includes a section called “Behaviors that may put your health at risk” with questions about tobacco, alcohol, drugs and environmental toxins, among other subjects.
Is anal sex with males on the list???
Possible responses
I had two but lost them in a boating accident.
Just reply: “So, can you tell me the four rules of firearm safety? No? Then you’ve proven yourself unqualified on the subject. Want to go shooting some time and learn?”
Really? Why cowtow just ‘cause you live in a lib state. I live in THE liberal state. NY. when asked we just say Fuggetaboutit.
And funny thing is I go to a LOT of doctors. The only time it came up was I told my doc I picked up a tick out deer hunting. He asked me what I shot. I to him. He told me he had a bolt action .243. And a mini fourteen. Had no place to shoot it did not like public ranges. I told him I’d take him to my clubs range this coming spring. This is in an NYC suburb. Not all docs are weenies and ***holes. I don’t expect them all to be outdoorsmen. But I do expect them to respect my constitutional rights.
We have a number of “Docs” in my cowboy action club. MDs and dentists, who like to sling peacemakers.
I responded, “Why, do you want to come rob me? Are you casing our joint? Don’t do it.”
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CAUSES SO MANY PEOPLE SUCH CONCERN.
Fact - A person that is asking questions they have no business asking and sticking their nose where it does not belong - CANNOT BE LIED TO. Anything you choose to say is perfectly acceptable.
Fact - It is the duty of every responsible citizen to insure that people asking such questions, especially if they are in some way related to the government, are kept as completely full of sh@t as possible.
Fact - Any such questions should be answered in a way that will insure the idiot asking the question is as completely misinformed as possible.
What should concern us more, is that you are obviously allowing someone to practice medicine on you that IS AN IDIOT. One of the most difficult bits of information to find in our society is whether a doctor is competent or not. All of the medical proceedings and investigations are kept very hush hush. I actually welcome a doctor asking such questions, because they are now clearly identified as an moron and more than likely a crappy doctor as well. Time to look for a competent doctor.
I actually walked out of a doctor’s office when the secretary insisted I provide my SSN. Told her no and that I was reporting the doctor to my insurer for violation of the privacy act.
I don’t see anything wrong with doctors asking questions about guns so long as the answers are entirely voluntary. I don’t agree with laws that make it illegal for a doctor to ask about guns. Finally, I think someone is crazy if they believe any data collected will never leave the doctor’s office. In my opinion, whatever you tell a doctor has a very good chance of making it into a government database at some point.
Hey Doc, how martini’s and Valiums you knock back after hours?
The PPACA clearly states that health care workers can NOT participate in any gathering of information concerning gun ownership.
Some will claim otherwise, but taken in combination with the privacy laws like HIPAA, health care workers can not release such information unless specifically authorized.
A shrink can call the cops, if you go to the shrink and talk about shooting people.
the shrink can NOT call the parents of a 25 year old child and warn them of such odd behavior, however, even if they pay for the kids insurance!
I wrote "DECLINED TO RESPOND" after every question. My ex asked me why I did that.....my response: "it's nicer than 'none of your f####n' business.'"
There is no freaking debate!
I will not argue about this with liberals, and anyone that wastes his time doing so is a fool. Shut them off, tell them there is no "debate", it is settled, go away.
