And we all see this creeping socialism with smoking.
First, smoke-free workplaces. Then smoke-free restaurants/bars. They pushed to move smokers away from building entrances. They are banning smoking in cars. Now, they want to ban smoking in apartments.
Once the legal precedent is set that the state can dictate what you can and cannot do in your home, they can start to dictate other rules as well.
Oh, and they always rely on your neighbors and children to report you.
You’re right. This has been going on for years and years. Doctors and dentists are required to report injuires that could have been caused by another person even if it was truly an accident. The same thing has happened to me a couple of times. I actually heard my dentist call into somewhere when I chipped my tooth. I should have had the guts to ask who they were calling, but didn’t.
I just got back from Vegas Wednesday night. I can’t tell you folks how nice it was to be around happy adults, doing what adults do. It was nearly heaven. I met so many happy and nice people.
It is not Mitt Romney’s doing — it is the bureaucrats.
Recently, Michael Medved had his teenage son on his show talking about his experience in the doctor’s office for some routine matter. The doctor (a female) asked him all sorts of questions about his sexual orientation and behavior, drug use, etc.
They absolutely could not understand why I was annoyed with them.
Yep, same experience. Obviously they got information from y’all’s records, too, that you didn’t authorize being let out.
I wouldn't say that they're the majority, but there certainly are enough to make one uncomfortable.
Having lived long and fairly well, and having dealt with doctors, lawyers, bureaucrats of varying power and authority and other assorted lowlifes, I can honestly say that the only persons who ever intimidated me were addressed as, "Your Honor".
The med students who go into pediatrics tend to be women, and/or very liberal. Not surprised they are turning to the time honored tactics of the Nazi’s and Soviet’s of turning the “Children” into good little comrades.
Doesn’t Massachusetts have the mandated health care, with some government funding....hmmm, could the health system that everyone is begging for the government to provide lead to doctors acting as government agents...
Nope, not gonna happen, oh, wait, that is the point of the article....

(UPI). In spite of this admission, I represent that I have sufficient data and expertise to provide expert and clinically sound advice to patients regarding firearms in the home.

Thanks Eaker! That is brilliant!
I was a wee bit intimidated once by an officer of the law who had mistaken me for an unsavory character, at least until he holstered his weapon.
Danged if that little opening in the business end of a 9mm doesn't look big when the guy behind it is all pumped.
Amazing how calm a guy gets, too, after the initial rush.
I would have gone down and had some words with that doctor. It was not a darn bit os his business.
A year or so later, I took my husband to the emergency room for an asthma attack, and the doctor asked him, while I was there, if I was physically abusing him. It's bizarre.
