When I was growing up back in the 50's and 60's we had a saying to the effect, "your rights end when they start to intrude upon my rights". Not trying to be difficult here Doc but I have a privacy right that as a doctor you must respect no matter whether you like it or not.

So, is it a violation of your privacy if I ask about your diet? Or exercise habits? Or previous health problems? Can these questions be outlawed and cause me to be sent to jail as well?

With such a silly and ill conceived response as the one you offer here I seriously question your claim to be a practicing doctor. You would certainly never be one of mine. What rubbish to even try and equate your answer with such a serious subject. And NO, you have no right to ask of anyone such an intrusive question that is clearly none of your business as a supposed doctor and it is certainly not a legitimate question.
