The problem, my dear friend, is that many of their sycophants reside right here on FR.
Statists are the majority on here now, unfortunately.
It seriously bothers me.
I’ve left FR twice over it. A third time and I might not return.
There is a sign on the building right by the door that says concealed weapons of any kind are not allowed in the building. There are pamphlets on the dangers of guns in the lobby for parents to read. When we were going there frequently (well baby visits, ear infections, etc.) I used to take NRA coloring books and leave them on the kid's table and in the kid's reading rack.
Come to think of it, it's time to see what other Eddie Eagle stuff I can buy to drop off there next time we go! Tee hee.
Massachusetts pediatricians were doing this same thing back in the early 1980’s when I had my son. I was shocked by the questions asked to a two, three yr old. We moved out of Massachusetts.
“That’s against federal law. You should’ve reported them for that.” (darkange)
Oh, believe me, when you go to hospital staff about this problem, at very high levels, they can cite loop hole after loop hole. We had money to pay our own hospital bills (that’s what they didn’t like - we weren’t socialists). But we didn’t have money to retain attorneys.
Oh, yes, we complained. What we did manage to do was have a cover page placed in our son’s records denying access to any persons employed by or associated with the agency for which those women worked. A Ph.D. speech analyst on staff there (one of the people very kindly working with our son) took up our side on this and wrote several letters on our behalf. This brought a cessation to anyone contacting us.
This Ph.D. (the most learned on the whole team - he provided the information that told the surgeons the extent of work needed. This man made the (motion X-ray) videos of our son’s throat, palate and adenoid pad area, and had the knack of explaining the procedures to us in a way anyone could grasp. . . and most compassionate.) had once walked up on the socialists trying to question us. He shoo’d them off for us that time. I told him what they had been trying to do. He was NOT happy.
Hopefully that doctor fired them. I would have said “Listen up here, what you are doing is illegal, and if you do it again I will call the authorities.” Sometimes you have to scare people like that.
That Ph.D. was one of hundreds of doctors on staff there. He wasn’t their boss and had no hiring/firing authority.
Still, having the FBI looking for you would be a lot worse than getting fired from a job.
Sorry, it happened to us in Massachusetts during the early 1980’s.
“Does Daddy own a gun?”
5 year old response....
“Daddy says only people who need to be shot will find out.”
Very good article. Well said. I posted it at our other site...which you need to check in with, please! Debbi is about to have a stroke worrying about you! :)
I blame the democRATs and RINOs in government.
I totally understand what you are saying. My participation here has dropped drastically because of the situation.
I pulled my “about” page over a year ago and no longer participate in certain regular/recurring threads that I was always o in the past.
I hope you yanked your medical records out of their hands, at the same time!
I did that when I moved, stating they are “MY Records”, and I’m not too damn concerned about your “policy” to do a Doc to Doc transfer.
I’m not going to be 3 states away wondering why you didn’t transfer them!
You should have given the PA the "Steven Wright" response: "Whadya need?"
I just emailed my daughter not to let our 7 year old granddaughter be alone with the doc.
I understand that you blame dem’s and government for these types of intrusions. However, please don’t blame Romney, we never heard of the guy in the 80’s. Government yes, you are correct to blame. I think it had to do with where the Doctor received his degree and what the school told them to ask patients.
