My ex doc had a long string of questions like that. Very invasive stuff. Nothing health related. I told him it was out of line. HIPPA allows them, maybe encourages them to record this stuff on our permanent record. Will explain the need to drug us or rob us of dangerous items. Totalitarians are everywhere these days, even the PTA. COVID worked pretty well for them. Still scaring people into masks and fear of living.

Had a pediatrician about 10 years ago ask if we had guns in the home. Told him just a few, maybe 45 to 50? I built the owner of the practices home, let him know and the dipshit was gone next time we went.

My Doctors talk about the guns they have.
One has some nice rifles and some pistols. He even asked me about one he was looking at before he bought it.
They are good folks.

Itโs been about 6 or 7 years years back my Dr retired. I needed to see a Dr and went to UT&B clinic by my house.
They had me fill out forms and I like to have fell over with all the gun questions. I wrote on the form none of your damn business.
The Dr. I need to see walked in the room and I let her know I came to see a Dr, not discuss my second amendment rights. She didnโt have much to say about it.
She did physical, blood work etc. told me the normal loose weight, cholesterol was a little high.
About six months later I get a call from UTMB, said they want to run some more test and for me come in. I said what for, they said some of the numbers on your blood work were a little high. I said it wasnโt important enough 6 months ago but it is now. I asked point blank did the Dr over look anything, oh no not at all. Then why after fact are you wanting me to come in. You just want more of my money or did I not answer all the gun question. So you and the Obama loving Dr. I saw can go to hell. Donโt have to worry about me going back.
Thanks, Billy

A couple years ago in the dentist's office I was informed I needed two crowns.
When deciding if I was going to do them simultaneously or spread the expense over two years, the Dentist offered to take a Walmart discount Wea Vanguard deluxe in 243 w/ VX 2 3-9x40 & Talley LW rings in payment. He gave me a very fair price, Slightly more than I had invested in the outfit and fifty rounds of the hand loads I had sighted it in with.

I've been asked those questions as a matter of routine and answered simply without getting defensive - and the doctor was cool and it was no big deal.

I've had that question once, from a Dr who was not my regular MD. I asked him why he wanted to know and he really didn't have a good answer. It was a pleasant but one-sided conversation, ending with "we'll just leave that one blank."
A wise man is frequently humbled.

I was asked ONE time at the hospital... my wife works there and we are on their health care plan...
I saw that coming, and I responded.. NO Sir... I am anti gun.. our society doesn't need them...
" Good answer" and then he dropped any more questions like that...
may be why they never asked me again... who knows...

My GP is an avid hunter/shooter and the only time he asks me about guns, it is to ask what I have bought lately. The first time I heard about the gun questions, I asked him why he did not ask them. He said it was nobody's business.

Never been asked, but it has been on forms once in a while. I just leave all non-health questions blank. No one has ever said anything.
