GUNS/KNIVES

[OLDNAVYMCPO]

Went to an Outpatient Imaging Clinic today to get a CT scan for my stents. Since my last visit at this particular clinic was more than six months ago, I had to fill out new forms. Many pages of CYA questions. Under previous and current medical conditions was listed GUNS/KNIVES. Wasn't aware that this was a medical condition. Elicited no response from me, just left it blank.

Maybe in the future I will be required to get a doctor's prescription in order to purchase a new knife or gun. Who knew.

Just answer "I don't suffer from them - I enjoy them!" and see what happens.

I pretty sure I have that affliction!

Since it was under previous and current medical conditions, maybe the intent is to ask if you have ever been treated for gun or knife wounds?

(Sounds like the kind of question Doc on Gunsmoke would not bother to ask, though, as the answer would invariably be, “Well, duh!”)

The only complaint my cardiologist has about my guns is not bringing in any pictures of them.

Knives?????

Does anyone you know NOT have a knife? Are they talking about any kind, including kitchen or table knives?

Tell them at your house you all gather round the kitchen table and rip raw meat off the bones of a butchered cow with your teeth, so great is your fear that a knife might just go off by itself.

Well done Master Chief--id'a left it blank-lied or asked: "What's a gun/knife?"

My doctor is a gun guy too-so non issue there as well.

Yup... this affliction forces me to live on a diet of ramen noodles & peanut butter sammiches.

I believe the gun questions are suicide/mental health CYA. I have a friend who is a retired physician and he tells a good story of a terminal patient's failed suicide attempt with a handgun. The story ends with... Dr. B... it was the loudest thing I ever heard.
