No hard-on pills for you!I would simply counter with:
I have you ever considered cheating on your spouse?
The moral compass of my doctor is just as relevant.

What's that got to do with hard-on pills, doc?
Certain vernacular. kind of a jokeOK, now it makes sense (Is that a gun in your pocket or...)
I'm a physician. The government is always adding REQUIRED questions that must be documented with visits, usually under the guise of some sort of quality check. As you may know, doctors are being required as part of the healthcare reform act to buy expensive computer record systems for their practice, which have not shown cost savings http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/business/news/report-says-it-hasnt-mitigated-health-expenses-670952/ (Similar to big expensive taxpayer funded government required databases about gun issues that never affected crime)
Will the question of whether or not you own a gun ever come out of your doctors record into a bigger database? Who knows.
Most Doctors dont care, and I'll bet well over the majority are gun owners.
Only for patients with psychiatric issues or with a family member with psych issues should this even be considered a reasonable question.
I would answer no If a doctor asked me that question.
and I'll bet well over the majority are gun owners.
What's wrong with "refuse"?Here is the rub. If you don't answer, it is either then checked as a yes or refuse. Then, when your family members go to the doc, they answer yes. Now what. Early on in Obamacare, this won't be an issue but will in time.
Friends.... at some point, we all will be required to answer the question or be denied health care. It won't be an issue of going to "another" doc or provider because you will be deemed ineligible. Obamacare will be the ultimate tool for gun control.
