My father told me he was one time asked by his physician if he owned firearms. He told me, he told him, pretty bluntly , to mind his own business!!
That’s exactly what I did once...My doctor surprised me with his next comment...
He said, “Good answer...”
Same here. I wonder if it was once a Medicare rule.
My standard answer was “Break in some night and find out. If you walk out, I don’t. If you are carried out I do.”
I was and did too!
No, the answer is no.
Any other answer means yes.
I saw it on one of those info forms you have to fill out for a new doc. I put a big NA , not applicable, next to it. I use NA in a lot of the blanks on those forms.
Don’t patients first have the right to know the rate of alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic violence and child molestation among the nation’s physicians first? This might be bad enough without making doctors agents of the surveillance state.
