Medical information given to a doctor is an exception to the heresay rule in court. (civil and criminal)
This is a way to get around the warrant issue.
Unless there is an actual arms would or an insane person issue there is zero reason for this doctor’s questions.
Doctors should haave a few made examples of in order to create a liability nightmare for them.
There can only be two reason to ask about guns. One would be tge patient was shot. The other is the trickier reason, and that would be the same reason they ask children whether they’re being abused in general. This is not because it is medically relevant, unless the doc needs to know the precise nature of the injury beyond what’s readily apparent. It’s because the state has deemed hospitals one of the proxy contact points between citizens and government. Same way therapists are compelled to report imminent danger from a patient or teachers are ordered to stick their noses in kids’ business.
Guns have nothing to do with it in particular, and I have no idea why they’d need to know more than that they were shot, if that’s what brought them there. It may be of further interest who shot them, but whether or not there are usually guns in the home is irrelevant, unless that could somehow decide between it being accidental or not.
