HIPPA does not have anything to do with this example. Why not just a polite " I'd prefer not to say", and just go on with the exam. The Doc could ask again if it were important. It seems like everybody's walking around with a chip on their shoulder.

Strange
They always ask me if anyone’s been beating me or have I been considering acting on thoughts of self-harm.

Like anything anymore, you have to give the answer they want to hear, not the truth. Compliance comrade.

Did giving a rude and insulting answer accomplish anything ? Your reason for not politely declining to answer was ?

she was just doing her job and you gave her crap Righteous indignation. Good for you. nope, neither of these. i am very polite and cordial about it. sometimes the response is accepting, sometimes they are not pleased, and even if the latter, i remain very polite, but hold my ground. I believe that yes, even at the doctor, one has the right not to divulge something, e.g. revealing to the nurse you do or do not own firearms, or discussing things that have nothing to do with the office visit. I will say one time i was short with a lady at the dentist's office asking me all kinds of health questions, and i said, "i'm just here to have my teeth cleaned". (and i might be jerk...LOL)

Telling somebody it’s none of their business is a no nonsense answer to a nonessential question. Move on.

nurses are funny. some of them seem to like having the authority/control of asking probing questions. was at the plumbing doctor once and i skipped over all the questions about 'performance' and 'activity', told her if there is somethng wrong i'll let her know. the nurse copped an attitude and confronted me about it, she wasn't happy Most nurses I've encountered are basically wannabe doctors (my own sister was an RN) who never tire of lecturing how much education they have and how extraordinarily difficult their job is...mere mortals simply cannot comprehend it (another example of this phenomenon is school teachers). I promptly concur by agreeing that it takes tremendous brain power and skill to empty a bedpan. That usually shuts 'em up.

Asking about C19 shot at a doctor, any doctor, makes sense. It's a medically related item, they may be on the lookout for something.
Asking about guns, that's just stupid.

Did she ask about your guns?
Q: “Do you have guns in your home?”
A: “No. I keep them with me at all times.” I love the "DO you feel safe at home" question personally.

Most of the nurses I know, many hundreds, are good hearted people with a sincere desire to make people's lives better. A few bad apples in any group, but I haven't seen many.
