I've owned firearms and hunted for 30+ years of my life and now some idiot from Kaiser Permanente is going to school me on gun safety tips?
Really?? I feel so much better now!
FUBO!
I am coaching my children to not talk about guns we own, keep in the house, shoot, etc.
They are to say to doctor or anyone else if asked, “I don’t know. You should ask my parents.”

As a doctor I can tell you that 99% of us will not ask this and check to see if you answered it on some form the government makes you fill out. What a joke.
Some of us already do this though probably not in the way Obama would like. Speaking of Obama, he looked like a man that knows he’s been beaten today. He knows his precious gun control agenda is going nowhere now and the backlash is just getting warmed up. FUBO.
Don’t be so arrogant. Lead poisoning is real and can be quite deadly....
But I’m happy to trade tips on which firearms to own, good places to go shooting, etc....
You know all those ‘studies’ that say we lag behind the world in healthcare?
The USA scores so low, because acces to guns gets low marks in these studies.
This is all a setup, for gun grabbers to institute gun control, not through congress but through HHS regulations, as authorized by the Obamacare act.
Slowly, the notion of health and guns will creep into our lexicon. Listen closely to the words chosen by politicians and media....and useful idiot companies like Kaiser Permanente.
This is only going to make the problem of mass shootings worse - if as many suspect what is really needed to improve the situation is better available mental health care for the seriously disturbed - it’s already the law in many states that mental health counselors must report anyone they strongly suspect of intending to harm themselves or others to “the authorities” (usually the police or other family members). This alone places them in conflict with their duty as counselors to maintain the confidentiality of what is said between themselves and their patients. In the name of full disclosure then it has become the rule, if not the law in many states, to inform the patient at the beginning of therapy that the therapist must warn others if the patient admits or reveals that he might hurt himself or soneone else. In fact this can’t help but encourage those who might otherwise want to talk about their impulses and intentions and perhaps deal with them more appropriately to avoid help and probably lead to more violence - and this doesn’t even begin to cover the damage done to the mentally ill in stimatizing them as dangerous, just when such stimatization had been diminishing - as usual libs will be making the problem worse......
“As a doctor I can tell you that 99% of us will not ask this and check to see if you answered it on some form the government makes you fill out. What a joke.”
What if....say you have a medicare patient..and medicare will not process a payment until the paperwork is ‘complete’.
“As a doctor...” what you do is pretty much irrelevant.
Intake is done by clerical staff in my area, and they are gonna ask whatever is on the pre-printed form. Been there, had that done...
We are so short of doctors to take care of medicare pts, I’m one who does, that we won’t have the time. A nurse will ask or a receptionist etc. and the pt can say what they want. It will not be important or relevant to us. Guaranteed.
Doctors are becoming deputized gestapo informers. If you go out target shooting on Sunday, go to the doctor on Monday and mention it, it’ll be in your record.
On another visit, if you say that you don’t know how much longer you can stand the flu, that’ll be in your record and they will come to seize the guns.
My point is say what you want. We don’t care. This big announcement today was a joke. Ain’t gonna do a thing.
About 15 years ago, my daughter’s pediatrician asked my if we had guns in the house. I told him gun ownership was none of his business and we left, I never paid him for the visit and we changed to a different doctor.
I think Obama figured out from his studies that Stalin’s mistake was that doctors were particularly persecuted too late (The Doctor’s Plot).

So Obama decided to persecute Doctors first.
Of course...I'd recommend...some "gun safety" tips. Like good gun control is hitting what you aim at.
Glean your guns often.
Shoot your guns often...to become more familiar with them.
Etc..etc...
If my Dr. asks me if I have any guns in my house, I’ll tell him he wants to find out, come crawling through my daughter’s window at 3AM and your question will be answered. Case closed…
