My last visit I had a new physician because, well, I liked my Dr but I couldn’t keep him.
I drew a diagonal line through each page on the form. The nurse called my name. I handed her the clipboard and said, “Do you want this?”
She smiled and told me she’d capture the relevant information, which did not include whether or not I felt safe at home or am sexually active or own any guns or use recreational drugs.
Try not filling it out. I don’t believe there are teeth behind these intrusive policies to collect personal information. I believe the clinics are simply forced to present the forms and collect what they can.
I find it harder every day to believe that we have allowed our government to get so out of control. If this kind of intrusiveness continues to go unchallenged we may as well report to a concentration camp now because those of us who refuse the government’s orders will soon find ourselves being marched off to a furnace in the not to distant future.
“Try not filling it out. I don’t believe there are teeth behind these intrusive policies to collect personal information. I believe the clinics are simply forced to present the forms and collect what they can.”
Exactly, “Illigitima non Carborundum,” don’t let the bastards grind you down.
Seems as though every time I have occasion to visit a doctor, the visit comes with a phalanx of pages to be filled out “so that Dr. has an up to date copy of your medical record.” I went to visit a doctor for a followup visit recently and was handed a sheaf of papers to fill out. You would have thought I was committing some sort of a felony the way the receptionist reacted when I handed the clipboard right back to her saying I wasn’t going to fill it out. She called her supervisor and I told her the same thing. Further, I said that if the price for getting to see her doctor was filling out the paperwork I was leaving and they could forget about the $50 “fee for not keeping the appointment.” I should have followed up saying that if the doctor refused to see me that I was going to send him a bill for wasting my time. At that moment, they all relented. It is an unqualified disgrace and it’s all being driven by the government. The way things are going, you soon won’t be able to walk across the street without a permit to do so.
