Do they ask if there is a bath tub in the house? Did you know that a child left unattended in a tub can drown? /sarc
How about scissors? Do you know that scissors can be used to
fatally cut? /more sarc

This isn’t about safety....

Actually, yes, I’ve been asked about bathtubs (whether I leave my kid unattended) and about access to sharp objects. Also things like safety gates on stairs, covers for electrical outlets etc.

There are some really dumb parents out there, so I don’t mind having a pediatrician ask about such things. So long as there is no documentation of it.

Guns are different because of the political effort to ban them. Doctors are, increasingly, agents of the government. In that regard I don’t want them to be asking let alone documenting. If I felt that the 2nd Amendment was seen as absolute and was properly protected, I’d probably feel differently.

Indeed cars and water are far more dangerous.

Explanation on adjusted/undadjusted.

Doctors might ask if the kids ever drank milk beyond the expiration date, fooled around with the thermostat or ever drank water out of a garden hose.
