No thanks Doc as they strap me to the table....

What will CNN say if we advocate screening for anti depressant drugs, and illegal drugs, especially among the press and pols?
What about asking about homo behavior, which is a known health risk?
That would be illegal!
At my age of 71, the doctor asks if I am routinely depressed, how much I drink do I own a gun etc.
This is all driven by the AMA.
Should be? For medicare annual wellness check that has been the policy for a long time
Soon our social credit scores will limit our access to booze to “healthy” levels—if we’ve been good.
They have better things to screen for. Alcoholics rarely go to the doctor, I should know, my youngest now passed brother was one. Only sought medical when his liver got to bad. But it was the Heart Attack that killed him.
I need a Scotch and Water on the Rocks.
Hubby just makes it at 14. 1 beer for supper, 1 scotch and water on rocks, short...about 7 pm.
I don’t know how, but none of the doctors we’ve ever gone to have tried to pry into our private lives.
One pediatrician asked my wife the gun question, but in a more proper way. “If you have guns in the home, are they properly stored?” Our idea of proper involves rapid retrieval, so yes, they are properly stored.
A few days after the Trump victory, the nurse at my doctor’s office asked if I’ve been feeling down, or depressed. I said “Nope, in fact, in the last couple weeks I’ve felt better than I have in the last eight years.”
She laughed heartily and agreed.
I drink so little I’d have trouble with 14 drinks in the last 5 years so I don’t have a dog in this hunt, but nonetheless, I disagree with this line of intrusion.
And while we’re at it, lets check everybody’s triglycerides and cholesterol to make sure they are eating healthy. And why not their BMI too, and “recommend” federal supervised exercise courses and we could all be as healthy as, say, good Nazis...
“Our idea of proper involves rapid retrieval, so yes, they are properly stored.”
So, yes, you do have guns in your home. Thank you very much.
No, she just said “OK” Gave no answer
Actually, I wrote the question wrong. It was “If you have guns in your home, make sure they are properly stored.” to which OK is a good answer.
In my case, I had to go to my doctor and he knew I had a firearm. I got ahold of a bad box of Winchester .357 Magnum rounds (there was a recall) Long story short, I had a hangfire or something about five minutes after I pulled the trigger and suffered some pretty good burns and particulate injection into my hand. (muzzle was downrange and bullet safely ejected). he pretty much laughed at my predicament which was fine with me.
Yeah, I’ve been told that before.
I’m just not a fan of the more robust beers.
I know a lot of folks like them.
Exactly...extortion.
Or sooner.
Bump for later.
How about monitoring unhealthy rump ranger practices?
