Are there any guns in your home . . . . .YMMV, FAR

. . . . . said the doctor to my bride when she had two of my kids in for their wellness visits today. What does that have to do with anything? And the doc didn't let up. My bride kept telling her that she doesn't need to answer that question; so the doc asked it multiple times throughout the visit.

When asked just say they were in your car Wink

Hopefully they dont ask this question when our son is born...not sure why they would though. It'll be hard for me to bite my tongue...

Oh, and she also asked if my two year old had ever had a tantrum. Apparently the doctor had never met a 2 year old. Either that or she needed to write it down officially so he could be declared to have a mental health issue. . . .. at two.
Your two year old no longer has a second ammendment right.

So far, I've only ever been asked on a standard patient questionnaire, never directly by the physician. I treat it just like the menstruation question and many others. I just skip it if I think it's a dumb, N/A or MYOB type question like, in my case alcohol or tobacco use.
I get why they might ask, because for some it might be a health/safety concern that the physician is the only person to ever make them think twice about the potential risks of something, but it's also easy enough either ignore the question on a form, or explain that you don't feel it's relevant to your care. If the physician is insistent, I'd be apt to find a physician more aligned with my sensibilities...

Just gauging her emotional response to questions like, 'Is there a gun in your household', 'has your two year old had ever had a tantrum.' Profiles don't build themselves Chewy.

Because starting next year, your medical records will be submitted to the same authority you submit your tax return to.

Just respond with some more nonsense like - "do you mean in the kids' rooms, the house, or the bunker?" or "do rocket launchers count?"
