having a gun in the house increases your chances of not being billed $200 for two aspirin.. I just had an idea, after reading that sentence.. When the patient gets home, take two aspirin from their bottle, bring them to the doc and say, "I'm returning these two for a refund."

when the survey political girl asked me last evening if we owned a gun
I responded "honey you called an Alaskan number, are you gonna ask next if it ever gets cold here? Those moose don't just march into the freezer yaknow"
turns out all she wanted was a yes or no, who knew? lol
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I believe the NRA lost this one, and it may have been a precedent for the country. http://thinkprogress.org/justice/20...banning-doctors-from-asking-about-guns/#

It's part of a new federal requirement. It will become part of your electronic medical record which the Feds will have access too. Lot's of new charting requirements. My wife's a PA and is having to do all sorts of things to keep of with the new federal requirements. She hardly works anymore but is always getting calls from the urgent care she fills in at on occasion to come in and fill out some new paperwork.
She has also been required to move to electronic charting and had to electronically order so many scripts within a time frame. If information is power then this government is grabbing lots of it.
Bb I can't find any such federal law. You got a link to something that supports this?

Part of the obamacare issue. Had a nurse ask me that when we got a new doctor after the old one left. She started in with the questions, I cut it short by asking her what her favorite sexual position was...she looked shocked and I just replied turnabout is fair play. You get to ask a question then I do Some things are just none of others people's business. Yep, ^ , O-care.

In doing some reading on this the last time it came up, I'm pretty sure it came from some "continued training" the docs receive at seminars and such.
In other words, no law or gov agency requested it, but rather some medical research group thought it would be a good idea to ask. Then included it in their training and lectures, and some docs bought it and the smart ones didn't. It was questioning promoted by the anti gun AMA.

Interesting. Personally, I've never left my kids alone with a doctor for any reason
Same here. I've even gotten into an argument with my kid's last dentist. They tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to watch my kids get their teeth cleaned,it was "against their policy". I told them it was against my policy to leave my kids with some yahoo I don't know. Turns out my policy is more strictly enforced than their policy.

My Doctor always brings the Newest Pistol he has purchased to his office with him when i have an appointment, so he can show it to me, he then ask me what I'm carrying today and for me to let him look at it . That's how it'd be at my office, Bob We just had training on a new software / electronic medical record system, and lo and behold there was the "guns" question tucked in there along with all manner of other personal schidt I'd never ask a patient without a really, really, really good reason. Why is it there - ostensibly, insurance-driven. Reality - I don't know, but it's no stretch at all to imagine the information being mis-used at a future point in time. Suffice to say, won't be participating in that bullschidt. Patients are welcome to bring their latest unloaded toy, what the hell, compared to the jibber jabber I hear all day it's a breath of fresh air.

A friend of mine just informed me that he was asked by his doctor's office if he had any guns in his home. This is not new. I remember being asked this stuff at least 10 years ago by my kids pediatrician. Standard answer was always, "Nope."

If you are going to answer it, I would just say something like: they're not at HOME, I have them all on me now. If I'm ever questioned I'll reply..............NOYGDB!!!!! Gunner

1.) Don't give the nurse, PA, or front office person in a Medical office a GFY, they don't deserve that. They aren't making the rules. They are required to ask, and are in breach of the law if they don't. They don't want to get fired for not doing what is required. 99% don't care, they are just doing what they must do. Same for the MD. 99% don't care. Here in Georgia, most MD's have guns. I hunt and shoot with a bunch of them.
2.) I see no reason that you couldn't decline to answer that with a polite "I don't talk about such things".
3.) Just say "no" and get over it.
4.) Vote the Libs out of office, and if you live in a conservative district, work and or support those in other areas/states that have contested seats.

Hell....
Two of the Doctors who performed surgery on me were avid hunters. One showed me photos of his African safari and the other is a dedicated bird hunter. In fact he purchased a Model 21 Double from a gun trader friend of mine. He and I would laugh about not owning enough guns or flyrods.
I guess my part of the country is a whole different from modern day urban America.

Ask them if they or anyone in their household ever performed or had an abortion.

I had one of my doctors offer to loan me his T/C Contender to hunt with.
I agree with hatari - Be polite it goes a long way.
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular -- but one must ask, "Is it right?"

I've just spent 70 days in the hospitals, was seen by 'only the Lord knows' how many doctors, and never once did any of them ask me if I had guns in my house. (Of course, when your in the hospital for falling out of a deer stand, it might be a stupid question)

I didn't read all the replies so if I missed something , me bad . I don't remember the question being part of O'care but think it is part or one of the orders O put in effect after the Newtown shootings to help deal with the metal healthe issue. So your answer may be put in your medicial file and if you are EVER perscribed any mential health drug (depression , anxiety ect. or maybe as simple as sleep disorder , one could be deammed unfit to own a gun . be very aware how onw answers any question that is put "on file " these days .
