not a bad idea

I agree the “forcefully exercising my rights” card isn’t the preferred way to go about it. I don’t like the lying approach either. If we let our govt force us to start lying to our doctor then how far are we willing to let them push us.

I do not advocate lying. Rather, always tell the truth. Just use the doctor’s lack of PQ* skills to divert the questions. Lying is, by definition, telling a falsehood. Leaving out info is not lying. Telling the truth precisely, but in a way that causes the listener to interpret it differently is most definitely not lying. Lying is saying something that is not true.
