What about other things the patient might want to keep private?

While I have nothing to do with any of the sex subject of this article, I have already started to keep certain things from my doctors.

I know that this can potentially have a negative impact on my health and/or make it more difficult for the doctors, as well as cost more for diagnosis, it’s the way it’s going to be with me.

The government has screwed up the doctor-patient relationship, because there are some things that I don’t care for others to know, especially the government.

As an example: I underwent heart surgery, suffered a stroke during surgery and contracted MRSA. Instead of 6 to 10 day stay in the hospital, I stayed 2 months and then another 6 months of in home recovery with home nurses 3 to 4 times a week.

My doctors wanted me to take head meds because of possible depression that can often accompany such an experience. I declined the meds, even though they may have helped calm the heart, because I didn’t want that med on my record out of concern of how it might impact my 2A rights in the future.

My medical records are nobody’s business but mine and my doctors, but apparently that’s not going to be the case anymore.

If it is a favored liberal ideal you won't have to report it.

If every Conservative has not figured out by now this is a sop to the Gay, Lesbians, Bi's and Trans-whatevers, they are no not as intelligent as I assumed they were.
