Your Doctor Asking For Your Preferred Pronouns Isn’t Just Annoying, It’s A Sign Of The Industry’s Decline

Doc, if you can’t figure it out, I need to get a different Dr.

When they first started asking me about guns in the home, smoke detectors, how many glasses of wine, drug use, etc... I decided to go on the offense.

"Why yes, I shoot up smack five times a week, have no smoke detectors, and leave automatic weapons in the baby's room. Loaded"

They never asked again. Give them too much of what they are looking for and they stop.

You’re lucky they didn’t call the police.

MY preferred pronoun is dcbryan1. Pronouns are used in lieu of common/proper/personal nouns.

I I must chose something else than it is Son of Odin, Destroyer of the Slavs, Jutes, Umbrians, Cambrians, Extramudarians and savior of Moskuvites and traders of East!

Ask the simple question:

Define woman.

Like the idea of providing TMI but the reality is that progressive woke docs don’t have a sense of humor. My off the wall sense of humor would end with every single alphabet agency ripping my house apart to find a suitcase marked “nu-clear water filters” because I told the doc I had a suitcase marked “nu-clear”. You know...democrats.

Big Medicine is woke and unscientific. My experience is that a few doctors eschew the wokeness, but even those that do that do not have the power to change things. Big Medicine and insurance companies are completely onboard with ObamaCare and everything fascist. It’s nearly impossible to find a private practice. Big Medicine is an oligopoly thanks to Democrats. There is no competition since prices are essentially fixed. That also means there is no differentiation in the quality of service and there are few motivators to excel.

COVID was the wake-up call for me. I unfortunately regularly need to see doctors and specialists. Their acceptance of anti-science which was driven my corporate overlords makes it clear that most doctors will just follow corporate bureaucrats that don’t know jack chit about medicine.

FIFY.

I think it’s not so much buying into it for most Drs, but they do it to avoid a lawsuit.

I like that. If asked, I would like to respond that my preferred pronoun is "His Royal Highness". Or "HRH" for short.

Something to be said about a good relationship with your doctors. It’s usually the nurses aide or office assistant asking you those questions while she takes your vitals. You know the routine. She stops writing pretty darn quick when she realizes how much work you could create for her. The doctor comes in with a chuckle.

If your “doctor” asks for your pronouns then you have a politician and not a medical doctor.

Sarchasm: the gap between he who made the sarcastic remark and the person who didn’t see the sarcasm. It’s a real thing, as indicated by the NEED for a sarcasm tag on any post here that contains sarcasm. There should be a designated font so people would know.

I no longer go for my FREE medical checkup. When they started asking me other than medical questions...which I refused to answer telling them it had nothing to do with my health...he got p*****. And I never went back.

So now once a year, I step on my scale...mark my height on the door frame...take my temperature...check my pulse...and hit my knee with a hammer.

The correct response to a doctor asking your pronouns is to channel Supreme Court clown Ketanji Brown Jackson and reply, "I don't know, I'm not a doctor."
