Doctor visit

[NAMVET1968]

This is my Rifle,this is my Gun. One is for Killing and one is for FUN, guess which WON !!

[muddywaters]

Doctors do not heal guns, gunsmiths do that. PIZZ up a wet rope on the weapons question.

[JAZII]

Haven't been to a Dr in a few years. Course pile of paperwork as a new patient. One of the questions was Do you own a weapon. WTH?

Certain states can not prescribe WEED if you own a weapon.

How would they know unless you self-admit? Is it a felony if you have weed and own a weapon?

Kind of strange, I've never seen one gun questions on any Dr. question sheets.
Except at the vet, they did ask if I have a bird dog.

About ten years back I had a once a year Doc. day . The nurse has a bunch of Questions for me? ( this nurse is one of us) She asks me if I fall much, do I feel safe in my home,do I need glasses to reed? Then do I have guns? I told her that I have a small gun in my pocket !! Now what do you think she tells me ??? That's none of their business !!! END OF QUESTIONS !! We love our Doc + Nurse but they are all done at the end of the year Retiring

Wait till they ask you(male) if you are planning on becoming pregnant in the next 90 days.

[Mark Perry]

I answer with N/A and instructed my children to do the same if they encounter it on a form to fill out. My visit to a doctor is in no way related to firearms.

Same

[clayshooter]

My dr has to ask me all those questions once a year to assess my well being.! I was a smart ars on one occasion and it was explained to me that it has to be done.! When I questioned as to why all I got was a blank stare and I backed down.!

On average 75 Americans commit suicide each day by using a firearm so yea, it’s as relevant as asking you if you’ve had any recent falls.

[JR19]

Answer yes, in fact the ink pen I'm writing with can be considered a weapon.

The question of do you own a weapon is too vague. I've seen that question before and I always though they was wanting to know in case you was ever treated for a mental illness or a similiar issue.

No, it isn't.

A fall is an actual, existing, health issue.

Owning a weapon is not.

Your failure to see this distinction is an example of the very problem.

[Mechanic Bob]

I to questioned that request, and a couple of others. The Doctor told me that is is a REQUIREMENT for Medicare. What a bunch of BS. As clayshooter, I too added a lot of BS answers to the survey.

[CaymasCobaltKen]

Name, quest, favorite color, capital of Assyria and air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow (make them specify African or European)...


Anything else is none of their business.

Thank you for the reminder to rewatch all of the Monty Python movies this winter.

I am on Medicare and my docs have never asked me about owning weapons, but he keeps asking me to do a wellness check with some nurse type. I told him that is why I see him, not the nurse.

Do you have a link?

Shouldn't be relevant unless they or someone has already diagnosed there is a mental health issue.

It was my first visit when I turned 65. All the BS question was unbelievable.
Can you shop for yourself?
Can you drive to your appointment?
Do you own a weapon
What you want to be called?
