My doc’s office wanted me to fill out a form every time I went in. I said no. I knew my actual Doc loved me.

No care for you, Lorraine. You are just the type of trouble maker they are trying to weed out. How quaint...you want “husband” and “wife” on the form? You want “white” on the form? Please report to Room 101.

I must have been prescient or something because when this crap started back in high school I chose to mock them. I’ve been doing it ever since.

1. Race: N/A or none. Drives them crazy not to use one of their pre-designations.

2. Emergency contact: My bank. They’ll probably know when I kick off before I do.

3. Sex: Not as much as I’d like.

Never let them get you down!

My daughter was filling out a college form and she answered the SEX box; Never.

Get a new doctor. Your current one probably has AIDS and bad breath.

What in the World is “cisfemale?” The Cisco Kid’s wife?

[goodnesswins]

They didn’t ask if you were feeling depressed? How much you drink each week? Slackers!

[PAR35]

I am going to complain to the doctor and ask for a paper form so I can fill it out how I want to.

So you are the reason medical costs are going up. How much do you think it costs to transcribe a paper form into the computer so that Big Data can harvest the information to use against you?

I did the Experian scan for my dark web info. Was sent back a note that my social was on my medical records in the scan.

Lovely.

Now I'm on the Experian spam list.....an example:

Your email address was not found on the Dark Web.

Here's what to do next:

Scan the Dark Web for 7 other items of personal information that could have been compromised by potential identity thieves.

Your Email Address
Social Security Number
Phone Number
Driver's License
Medical ID
Bank Account(s)
Credit/Debit Cards
Passport

Take the next step to protect your identity. Get Experian Identity Theft Protection for an immediate scan of the Dark Web to see what elements of your personal information are exposed there, plus daily Dark Web Internet Surveillance, and credit monitoring and ongoing alerts to activity that could be fraud.

Lovely. Now they want to sell me *protection*...laughable.

I go ballistic when a doc office asks for my social. Always refuse. But it's on my Medicare card. We're caught between the devil and the dark web.

I also protest when the 8-10 pages of info they ask you to fill out are all redundant. Too lazy to curate the docs. If I don't like the question I cross it out. Heck with them.

You should tell them are illiterate and you need someone else to fill it out, that’s what I do.

Excellent satire!

[familyop]

Yep, more linguistic activism. Useful idiots are being dumped along the way, and only the most radical homo-activists and feminists like where they’re really taking policymaking and legislation. They’re the sons and daughters of the most influential political class folks, and no one angers them without being fired or expelled.

[familyop]

Nursing and other medical programs at universities have been rife with it at least since the ‘80s, by the way.

[a fool in paradise]

Does “life partner” include roommate or even a brother/sister/cousin that you live with?

[mabarker1]

1. Human

2. Just put the phone number and H or C

3. Yes, Please

There You go, DONE.🙃
