I agree, I would immediately stop going to a doctor that "practiced" this type of "medicine"! We hold the cards, stop paying them to snoop into where they have no business! There are a lot of good ETHICAL doctors, find one and stick by them.

Exactly! This "every Doc is out to give my kid and abortion and take away my guns" paranoia is just plain silly. Keep up that attitude and you'll have only yourself to thank when Doc's quit practicing and bring young minds quit going to medical school. Who's going to treat your kid's strep throat then?

Excellent comment ww. For those who don't think the topic of gun ownership is asked frequently by physicians, I'd like to see some feedback from Freepers on this issue.

I'll begin, my personal physician who is a great doctor and human being asked me about having a gun in my house.

The next 15 minutes consisted generally of my questions to him regarding the reason for asking the question concerning gun ownership. It doesn't sound like this is anywhere near the anamoly I thought it was.
