Anoying doctor's visit
- Thread starter lrrifleman
- Start date
my attorney, landscaper, handyman, doctor, dentist all have concealed carry permits.........its good to have a circle of like minded professionals.....
My doctor (whom I have been going to for over 30 years) have a standing agreement. If the SHTF I will bring all the guns & ammo and he will bring all the scotch.
I've never been asked to fill out a survey or asked any gun related questions.
I wouldn't take a survey and I'd tell them my personal business is none of their business.
I'm quite sure every doctor I'v seen in the last several years knows I carry.

it would have been good to know he had a gun when I went to his home.
I told a LEO that I had a loaded handgun on me when he pulled me over - first words out of my mouth.
He smiled at me and said, "everyone I pull over has a loaded gun on them".

My doctor, a Russian-born lady whose English is almost unaccented and whom I like a lot, ran a required Medicare "wellness" questionnaire by me six months or so ago. She asked me three or four questions--do I live alone, do I have house cleaning help, do I cook for myself (yes, no, yes)--and that was it. "I'll fill out the rest," she said.
See why I like her?

Not a doctor's visit, but I recently posted about an interesting questionnaire I received from the VA................

Why would it have made a difference?As a gun owner myself, I get it. As a former RN I've also had a 45 pointed at me by a 3 war distinguished combat veteran (WITH DEMENTIA), it would have been good to know he had a gun when I went to his home.

NOT DOING YOURSELF ANY FAVORS.
Would you refuse to answer a question posed by your auto mechanic or plumber? You may not know the reason why the "dumb" question is being asked, I have to believe someone somewhere has a reason for it. I didn't know the reasons for some of the ?'s & hope it wasn't just for some bean counter. If I had a dollar for every person I had to ask about their BM's & then look at them (PHEW
), I'd own more S&W's, a GI Dr may have known why those ?'s needed to be asked . Trust me, having to spend 90 minutes asking those "dumb" ?'s is not fun for the asker either.

My doc and I have a good relationship. We ask each other what we bought lately, and often do a show-and-tell. He is into WWII reenacting and I've set him up with some stuff. We also talk about horses in our lives - mostly injuries we have received as a benefit of ownership and maintenance.
He does usually ask a general question about "outlook on life". Honestly, if he didn't do that he would be overlooking a major issue that impacts overall general health. It's gonna be a sad day when he retires.

Old people can't be trusted to cook.
He might forget to wear an apron while frying bacon, and get hot grease splattered on his beans and frank.
Might bend over to stir the soup, and have glasses or teeth fall in the pot, splashing scalding liquid on himself.

GRANDMA CLAIMED IT WAS AN "ACCIDENT".
She must have been cooking w/o her glasses & used a lemon scented furniture polish in the dinner. A good thing they don't make lemon scented rat poison.

My family doctor always asks me what I'm packing today!
My BIL likes to cook and he is the worlds worst cook, he will put a pan on the stove and fall asleep, he will wake up when the smoke alarm goes off, he is always buying new pans. [emoji1]

As a first responder/fireman, a measurable amount of the calls I go on are a result of old folks cooking. Mostly it is a house full of smoke with burnt food in a pan in the kitchen. Other times, things get out of control with somewhat grim results.
I've had several of the wellness, general type, questions asked at each apt. Do I live alone, have stairs in house if so are there handrails, do I need help with general day to day things? Never asked about firearms in home.
All of my doctors know that I'm a retired police officer and that I'm usually armed. The only people who got upset was the VA, and one dermatologist, so I stopped going to both of them.
