Doctors are ordered to ask patients if they are gay: NHS bows to pressure from equal rights [tr]

Every patient visiting their family doctor or attending a hospital appointment in England will be asked to declare if they are gay, straight or bisexual under controversial new rules imposed by the NHS. The astonishing diktat – condemned last night as ‘intrusive’ and ‘insulting’ – orders doctors to include details of a patient’s sexuality on their permanent medical record for the first time.

Coming to America.

[ThunderSleeps]

The joys of government run healthcare. And those pro-single payer idiots want to bring this kind of BS here.

[ealgeone]

The linking of disease to orientation will be interesting....if they were to do so.

[Mr. Mojo]

Bet Moslems have an exemption from even being asked..

[dfwgator]

[bert]

The closets are being destroyed.

[Diogenesis]

Too bad that the UK Moslem doctors do not wash their hands.

They should have been ordered to do THAT, first.

[Joe 6-pack]

I would be willing to bet that in the UK a large % of the doctors doing the asking are muslims.

[a fool in paradise]

Ask to see your doctor’s divorce records.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

What’s this, the Islamo-Nazis taking a census in preparation for the mass executions?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

OK, as long as they triple-charge the queers to cover cost-shifting for all our “free” healthcare.

The patient should answer by asking the doctor if he is gay or bisexual. Since such people are prone to HIV, it is a more legitimate question than the doctor asking the patient such a question.

[I want the USA back]

This is what government does. When you give them power, they take more power and take more and more until they become fascist dictators. Happens everywhere. Nothing special about Germany in the 1930’s. Give them power and they become nazis.

The idea is to Not give government power, but that is not going to happen since the folks always vote for more benefits, which gives the government more power, leading to fascism.

[ClearCase_guy]

Yes. The really special thing about the United States was the explicit emphasis on LIMITED government.

But we’ve lost that. It’s gone and it’s not coming back.

[Truth29]

They need to be met with a response that the patient will ignore the question along with anything else the patient objects to in the patient background survey. Keep the apparatchiks confused and guessing.

[null and void]

What’s this, the Islamo-Nazis taking a census in preparation for the mass executions?

Some things never change.

[alternatives?]

I suspect they are trying to get a better handle on anal cancer and HIV.

Problem is if they had the data, we would never see the actual results. The MSM would tell use there is no correlation and any study that showed such results would be flawed or partisan. .

[dgbrown]

“I’m normal Doc.”

[Uncle Miltie]

I am ecosexual.

You must refer to me as Gaia, or go to prison.

[lightman]

But will this information be used to track and correlated STD occurrence among the pervs?

There may be some inconvenient truths exposed.
