Be sure to take your Passport whenever you go to doctor's office. You should take all relevant info - which should be no info at all.
Patient: Why?
Female Doctor: Because I am trying to exam you.

Ha! Can't wait to pass this one along!
Ok. I see he was apparently a staunch consevative. I had no idea. I figured him for a hippy wackjob. mea culpa.
Wiki only says prostate cancer.
Was there something more suspicious than that or was it something suspicious wrt that?

I keep thinking of the movie 'Gattica' (sic?)........
Every man should claim to have had sex with Michelle
You’re, unfortunately, not far off at all.
Guaranteed within 5 years none of us posting here will be allowed to get any expensive medical care. Regardless of age.
For the older ones their age will be the ‘excuse’. For the rest of us the excuse will be ‘recordkeeping error’.
Which will mysteriously resolve around the time it becomes unnecessary to treat us. Because we’re dead.
Always say “no”.
If later they ask about a perceived discrepancy, tell them it was due to their lack of clarity.
Who the hell would they have checking for discrepancies?
By the time that process is automated, I’ll be long past caring.
As a friend of mine said: “You first! Where have those hands been and should I be worried about your sexual partners?”
What guns? I lost them in a hunting accident. Damn bear ripped everything to shreds.
“Dont make yourself a target by responding FU...”
A target? Someone threatening me over such question will find I am not a nice guy.
S’ok. They’ll toss your place anyways. Just because they can. Be sure to vacuum in the corners first, MK?
Better have a lot of space and time when interviewing people from the hoods. ;-)

The computer/laptop they put all of your info in.
A doctor's PA I saw recently was putting in information about my visit and muttered "I hate doing this".
I think she meant it took too much time and was just stupid.
She couldn't see as many patients as she used to because so much time was spent inputing patient info.
Magnets around tv's can really mess them up. Ask my brother what it does - he did this when he and a friend just wanted to see what it would do. They were probably preteen at the time. The colors was so messed up mom and dad either had to get a new set or got the one fixed.
Naturally, my brother and his friend had no idea how it happened.
I'm just wondering if a magnet around a computer would mess up the computer and the information contained within.
LOL!!

BTTT. Sorry to hear about your dad's situation.
Bet this is going to happen a lot - garbage in, garbage out.
It will happen anyways. Large databases ALWAYS have a percentage error rate. In this case there will be more serious consequences than a higher interest rate if you buy a house.
And it opens the possibility of malicious intent wrongful entries also.

*chortle*
This thread is fun - kinda' balances out B. Hussein O. mega speech from last night.

I would't be surprised if the scenario you mentioned was in our future.
Why are Dr.s asking about guns?
