Then Howard turns to Rice with a question she didn't encounter in medical school: "Can I ask you: Last summer, why was it so hot?"
"The overall trend of the hotter summers that we're seeing [is] due to climate change," Rice says, "and with the overall upward trend, we've got the consequences of climate change."
For Rice, connecting those consequences — heat waves, more pollen, longer allergy seasons — to her patients' health is becoming routine. She is among a very small but growing number of doctors and nurses who discuss those connections with patients.

Oops, “fully”, not “sully”.
And, I should have added fake “I am there” sounds to my reply so that I could compete with the simpleton NPR jokers.
Has your doctor talked to you about STDs?
For the right amount of money I’m sure they can come up with something. Will it work? Probably not but at least they will have tried. That is all that really counts isn’t it?
Doctor’s advice: breathe less. It will create less harmful CO2.
Ohh HELL NO.
In my experience about 90% of the doctors I’ve seen are some of the most clueless people around and can do nothing more than regurgitate what was drilled into them in school or ordered to do by their insurance company. I don’t need or want them being my political officer now.
This is what you get with socialized medicine. Your health isn’t your own but what the government tells you and the government doesn’t care about your health.
My doc tried the standard obamacare battery of questions on me and I just looked at him and said nothing. I’ve known him for a long time. He got a little uncomfortable. I told him I’d rather shovel chicken crap with a spoon than to compromise my profession by participating in questions like he just asked. He looked a little shamed. He should have.
My doc asked about mental health in my family... Told him my sister was a democrat.
“The male is an 18 pounder, but I think I could take him if it came to it.”
Mine weighs in at 12. But he’s crafty. He’d wait until dark...at the top of the stairs...All that purring and cuddling is probably just to allay my suspicions.
Hmmm. I have a Dr’s appointment soon.
I’ll ask him why the temps around here reached 114 one summer ten years ago, but haven’t passed 95 since then.
no she hasn’t. hasn’t asked me about guns, or “do I feel safe in my home” either.
There are people whose doctors’ talk to them? Mine wants to get out the door ASAP.
If he did, I would fire him on the spot.
Ha! My doctor is a conservative. I know this because he does make political comments. He might talk to his patients about climate change, but not in the way these people would expect.
I’m with you FRiend
My climate changes 4 times a year. Am I the only one, or does anyone else have this problem?
My doctor is more interested in my loose change.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
A few days after the election, I had an appointment. The nurse asked in a roundabout way if I’d been feeling any depression.
I said “In fact, in the last few days, I feel better than I have in the past eight years.”
She burst out laughing and agreed with me.
What a joke, docs asking us about firearms, AGW/Climate Change, what next?
Climate change and “do you own a gun?” questions.. I say it’s none of your business.. and why do you even ask such questions in the doctor’s office...
It’s been pointed out that the progressive liberal socialists have used climate change for control... it has nothing to do with hot or cold or why. (btw, we’ve had hot and cold, wet and dry, record storms and no storms.. for all the years I’ve been living on this earth) But control is the goal.
Look at what they want...open borders so there is no United States.. just world government where they can refuse elderly and anyone they choose, to not be able to see a dr and refuse help.. in other words, killing off those in the way of world domination.
they don’t care about those little ones “drinking from the toilet”.. no, they can’t even fix the worse problem in cities where they live on the streets in squaller. They use everything they can, politically.. to stop the one man who represents exactly what they don’t want to have in their “perfect” global world.. because they can’t control him...
