That was a form for YOU to fill out. Not the doctor. The doctors, PAs, and NPs don't work from a script. What did the doctor say when you left it blank? I know what they said to me.....

Isn't that idea lost on most people these days? It seems that there is a pill for everything. Statins used to be the wonder drug. What is it now?
Ah, no mandate just "recommend". Good to know. So far I haven't been asked; but if I were, answered "yes" and then had the doctor "educate" me about the risks of a gun in the home, I would reply something like the following:Hmac wrote:There's no mandate. As gun violence has become a more prominent part of the public debate and it's been declared it a public health issue, various medical specialty societies and the AMA have taken up the cause and recommended that their member physicians address it as a public health issue and "educate" their patients on the subject in order to keep them safe.Lumpy wrote:Forgive my extreme ignorance- I've learned to tune out 95+% of the cacophony that passes for public debate these days- but when did doctors start asking if you own guns, and under what mandate?

A friend of mine in the TC recommended a his cardiologist. I saw him two weeks ago. ECG, cholesterol, history and physical minus the prostate exam. I checked out fine. No questions about guns.
