First time I was asked that question by my doctor’s nurse I gave her a short lecture on the 2nd amendment and told her it was none of her business. When the doc came in I did the same and he was pretty sheepish, said he was a hunter and didn’t like that question either. They haven’t asked me since. They also used to ask me whether I was abused in the home to which I would respond that I was a trial lawyer and what did they think. They don’t ask that question either. I just considered it a teaching moment.
We’re you trying t o say that it’s a given that trial lawyers were abused as children? That would explain a lot, indeed.
It infuriates me when they ask me if I am a victim of domestic violence if I tell them my back hurts. I let them know I don’t appreciate them treating me like an idiot.
I just tell doctors I work in HIPAA compliance and they usually keep it short.
I responded, “Why, do you want to come rob me? Are you casing our joint? Don’t do it.”
