“Uh, NEVER tell a doc about anything not directly related to the condition you’re seeing him/her about. EVER. “
The other more subtle and insidious questions are related to your current emotional state. Like “are you happy or sad today.” Some of my doctors have their front office folks give you the same questionnaire every time you show up. I just tell them that what they have on-file is good enough and refuse to answer any of their thinly veiled questions about my mental state. The next thing you know the LEO’s show up at your door and demand that you to turn in your guns. It’s awful not to be able to trust your doctors, but that’s where we are today They have become organs of the state. Kinda’ like bus drivers with a medical degree.
How about this for subtle?

A simple line through it and a big N/A should work. Which will of course be deemed as aggressive and threatening. :>}
