Doctors have NO business, asking this question!

[PROCON]

Banglist Ping!

[wastedyears]

It has nothing to do about safety, and everything to do about control.

“Doctors have NO business asking this question”

Unless the doctor has to surgically remove a firearm from your butt, then he should keep his mouth shut about firearm safety. IMHO

[Vaquero]

effffyou Doc...

my guns are MY BUSINESS.....(unless I want to discuss them)

ps I told my Doc I would take him to my range this spring summer...he does not like going to public ranges.

[cripplecreek]

I’d ask “Why, am I allergic to gun oil?”

[EricT.]

I know a doctor in a nameless Southern state who will be happy to discuss guns with you, starting with his WW2 submachinegun collection.

[NautiNurse]

Yikes, my doctor and I spent 30 minutes out of a 15 minute checkup appointment comparing our gun collections. Turns out, we have very similar tastes in handguns.

[Joe Brower]

Heh. My dermatologist was telling me just yesterday about the Sig 556 he bought, because he "likes Sigs". "Nice rifle", I told him, "But I prefer the AR15 series for the 5.56x45mm due to their widespread use and parts availability." He hadn't considered that.

It's nice to know that not all docs in the Sunshine State are buying the BS.

[Malone LaVeigh]

Pass a law requiring them to disclose any and all malpractice lawsuits filed against them. See how well they like that.

[50cal Smokepole]

Uh huh. And the names won't EVER end up in a centralized gubmint database. Friggin’ gun grabbers...

[piytar]

I’m actually slightly - very slightly - against this law.

Why?

Because I’d want to know if my doctor was a left wing idiot. I’d change doctors immediately. So would many other patients.

Buh bye practice...

[rhombus]

If I go to a doctor I pretty much agree that he can ask me any question he likes. He may not like my answer and I might tell him it’s none of his business and I might also fire him. That’s my right.

[Sergio]

I like to point out to the good doctor that in for 2007 there were 730 accidental gun deaths in the U.S.A. For the same period there were over 98,000 accidental medical deaths. I then point out that my risk for death is 134 time greater, just sitting in his office than it would be sitting in a home with a firearm, and that I would rather discuss what he is doing to make his office safer.

[SpaceBar]

So now invasive questions regarding a legal activity that has absolutely no bearing or relevance on the immediate health concerns of the patient is now considered constitutionally protected free speech by some lawyer.

[Squantos]

Haven’t been asked such ....yet.

But my answer will be to eat shit an bark at the moon as it is none of their business as you state.

[Mr Rogers]

If my doctor asked me questions about guns in my home, I’d tear him a new butthole big enough to shove a Marlin lever action in sideways.

Doubt he’d ask twice...

[umgud]

Doctors patients have NO business, asking answering this question!

[Mr Rogers]

“The law also bars practitioners from entering the information into a patient’s medical record.”

Given that patient medical records aren’t exactly private from the government, this part of the law is critical.

[BCR #226]

What training do doctors have on giving advice on firearms? Unless specifically trained, they risk the same kind of responsibility that people that give bad financial advice end up dealing with.

Sorry but doctors have no freaking business going down this road.

[theBuckwheat]

And I reserve the right to discuss the physician’s malpractice insurance claims experience.
