If you are asked, lie.

How about it is none of their business and tell them that.

Answer only questions pertaining to your health. Cross everything else out. Tell the doctor you´re not there to discuss politics.

Since your medical plan is only paying him for about seven minutes worth of his time (a doctor actually told me that HMOs limit your visit to seven minutes with the doctor), he probably won´t argue.

I once had the famous Dr Hermann´s son as GP...he was as well my gunsmith....he was good at both...
My current doc has more guns than I.

My doc and I go shooting together all the time. My wife works in a medical office, one of the requirements is that she be able to use a gun. The difference between Alaska and DC I guess.

Amen #2. That is what I intend to say if ever asked at the doctor about guns.

A psychiatrist should be able to ask his patient whether or not he owns guns...especially if the patient has suicidal or homicidal ideations. Use a little common sense here. No one is mandating that every doctor ask in every patient visit. But yes, there are patient visits where the patient says, "Doc, I´m feeling like life isn´t worth living. I´m not sure I want to go on this way." The doc should be able to ask the question.

Evidently patient privacy is a myth.

The answer to the question is always "NO". Not "none of your business" or "I´m offended", or even leaving it blank.
Anything other than a no will go down as a yes. Simply say no and let it go at that.

The sinister thing is that there are many physicians, most of them in or around academic medicine, who think it is a swell idea to ask patients, including children, about firearms in the home. Their argument is that it is a legitimate health concern. Of course this is a very slippery slope with no obvious stopping point. Once physicians begin to inquire about anything they or the government consider a health hazard, anything goes. Children can be interrogated about their parents´ alcohol use, driving habits, and, yes, political views. The camel´s nose is in the tent - and there is a lot of camel, indeed a whole herd of camels, outside and ready to come in.

The danger to America and to American values and liberties does not come from the individual calling himself Barack Obama. He is merely the spokesman, the mouthpiece, the logos for a world view that is, unfortunately, shared by large numbers of Americans, many of them in positions of authority and influence. The sickness is therefore much more serious than it seems. It has spread like a malignancy throughout American society. Barack Obama could disappear tomorrow and America would still be every bit as sick as it is now. Another Barack Obama would promptly arise to take his place.

Beyond stupid. Competent Doctors are way too busy to be taking polls.

#1 has it right! If asked, lie. I mean, our President lies all the time, so it must be OK, right?

I have absolutely no intention of responding to any question put to me about gun ownership from anyone.

Folks, the universal answer: "If I did, I certainly would not discuss that part of my personal property with my Doctor! Now, let´s get back to what we are going to do about my medical condition! No! Doctor! I insist!"

I trained my son very early to never, ever discuss anything that happens in our home, what we own, what we eat, what we discuss--nothing--with doctors, teachers, friends, no one! I saw articles taped to his pediatrician´s walls about guns and knew he was a lib. I have reminded him again of this now that he´s 18. I will lie if I am asked.

The doctors are at their upcoding seminars. No time for this unless there is a billing code for it.

Remember, it is a gun until you point it at someone with the intent to shoot..then it becomes a weapon.

No one sees the paradox in the fact that more people are killed annually by incompetent doctors than are killed by guns of all kinds?

Dr Fleming is also the rep that had a petition on his web page for federal employees to have the same insurance as the Americans paying for it.
