They can ask...and then see my behind as I walk out.

Should Doctors Ask Older People If They Have Guns At Home?

Only if they're fascist domestic enemies of the people of the United States.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Ah, they want to protect us from suicide. How sweet. Except for state-assisted suicide, of course, which is perfectly acceptible.

Should Doctors Ask Older People If They Have Guns At Home?

Doctors shouldn't be asking anyone whether they have guns or not, period.

[tet68]

You wanna talk gun safety Doc?
Sure, it’s this little button right here.

[count-your-change]

Sun City is being flooded with AK-47s?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

And what, pray tell, makes these left-wing quacks experts on “gun safety?”

I would tell the so-called doctor, if asked this intrusive and unnecessary question, “200,000 patients are needlessly killed in America every year by the mistakes of you so-called “doctors.” How about you drastically reduce this absurd number of deaths before you ask me about my firearms, which have killed no one?”

And then I would walk out of his or her exam room, never to return. A complaint with a local medical board would follow.

NO
But if they do, I will say phuque off and walk out of the office.

"There's been so much attention to the role of physicians and the safety of young children when there are guns in the home," says Marshall Kapp, a professor and director of the Center for Innovative Collaboration in Medicine and Law at Florida State University, and author of the paper. "We really haven't seen much discussion in the physicians' role regarding older patients."

We don't need to know anymore about this than the part I put in bold type.

AFAIC, a doctor can ask me how many toes I have and which of my 'jammies will house them - I don't have to answer.

And, if that doesn't work for him, there are other doctors who refuse to be tools of the state!

[SandRat]

They should be told; “NYDB!!”

I Believe you can figure out the meaning.

[Jack Hammer]

There’s no end to life’s busybodies.

[fortheDeclaration]

None of their business.

[Ray76]

Well Doc, I keep one under your bed in case you walk in on us.

In other words, none of your damn business.

[Carry_Okie]

Older men are at high risk of suicide, and they're far more likely to kill themselves if they have access to firearms.

And that's bad for business. No wonder the medicos want those weapons pulled.

[Isabel2010]

NO!

[dennisw]

Older folks should walk into these MDs offices with their concealed carry... And as the MD askes his dumb questions you pull your jacket aside so he can see your gun

[montanajoe]

Its “Prudent Practice” to never tell a MD anything more than whats ailing you..

I get my medical care at the VA here in Florida. I went to the Urgent Care clinic on Monday to get some antibiotics to stop a chronic cough and congestion lingering too long from a head cold. In the triage interview, the medical tech asked me if I owned a gun or had access to one at home. This is the first time I had ever been asked that at the VA. I did not respond about the gun and just insisted I was there to get my chest issues relieved. They didn’t ask the question again but I’m sure they wrote in my chart, “Gun nut job”.

[Secret Agent Man]

i’d start asking them about their guns, and start writing down their answers for my files.

[kitchen]

Gee Doc, before we talk about guns, could you explain boundary violation?
