Hospital Asks About Guns

[miguel]

(female) Nurse: "Do you own any guns?"

Miguel: "Just the one on me, baby."

MIGUEL'S BACKUP REPLY DURING PHYSICAL: "Are you blind or what?"

 

[Liberty's Teeth]

Simple. The answer is "no" or "no, I don't have any of those things" or even better "I volunteer for the Brady campaign". Case closed.

My daughters 6th grade teacher asked if there were guns in any of the students homes today! I am mad. Luckily we have already had the talk about not telling anyone about our guns!

You should just teach your daughter to say, "****, yeah, and woe to the sonofa***** that tries to come get them."

She'll be the coolest kid in class.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Awesome. My response...Do you?

 

[miguel]

That or pretend you can't hear them.

(male/female) Nurse: "Do you own any guns?"

Miguel: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

(male/female) Nurse: <louder>"Do you own any guns?"</louder>

Miguel: "Beg, pardon?"

(male/female) Nurse: <even louder>"Do you own any guns?"</even louder>

Miguel: "What are you whispering for? Speak up?"

(male/female) Nurse: <even louder>"MR. MIGUEL...do you own any guns?"</ even louder>

Miguel: "No habla...what do you mean?"

(male/female) Nurse: <even louder>"NEXT!!!"</even louder>

You guys need to find new dr's (seriously).

WTF are they even asking for? I can't see any reasonable reason to why they would or should even ask.

Hows this for a reason:
They want to know if you have guns AND they know if you are on medications and SOON they will say that the medications deal with mental heath and BOOM, they will make it so you don't get no gun.

Hows that.

Yep, it's already like that in many places in Europe where you need a note from a doctor to be able to get a permit to just own a gun.
You had mental health issues in the past = no gun.
You're vision is not good enough = no gun.
You trouble remembering things so you cant remember if you left your gun loaded or not = no gun.
The list can be quite long and of course you have to see a doctor each year to renew your permit.

You also need to prove that you own a safe to get that permit to own a gun.
And of course you have to keep your gun unloaded AND locked.Ammo locked in another safe (it doesn't matter if you have kids or not).

Dont let that happen in the US guys.

"Why yes I do, in fact I've got one on me now!"

"I don't know. Have you had an affair lately? See how pointless and annoying personal questions from a total stranger are?"

 

[MikeDVB]

"I don't know. Have you had an affair lately? See how pointless and annoying personal questions from a total stranger are?"

Them: "Do you own a firearm?"
You: "Why, do you plan on shooting somebody?"

 

[RockofStrength]

Them: "Do you own a firearm?"
You: "Why, do you plan on shooting somebody?"

Simple answer: "No."

My answer:________________________ (silence)

I was in the ER about 8 months ago and got asked the question. When I responded that I didn't see how that was pertinent to the needed medical treatment the rest of that touchy-feely section was skipped.

They just checked "yes".

 

[Slapstick]

Two can play that game. A list of potential questions to ask them if they ask you.

1) Do YOU own any guns? You just might decide some day to put all the poor whinny sick people out their misery.

Since I'm intrusting my health & life to you I need to know if your competent and not under too much stress to make proper decisions.

2) Do you drink if so how much?
3) Take any mood altering drugs?
4) Personal relationships ok, having any affairs?
5) Ever been sued for malpractice? If so for what?
6) Any financial problems?
7) Did you receive any gifts or other things of value from drug makers or medical supply manufacturers?
8) Where did rank in med school class?
9) Ever had your medical license suspended, any warnings form the state medical board?

If it's at a hospital throw in , What was you last JCAH ranking?

If they are going to ask then we might as well have a little fun at their expense. INGO should be able to come up with a lot more questions to ask to show them how absurd it's getting to be now a days.

Here is a downloadable PDF from 2asisters.org

It requires a physician asking questions about guns to state their qualifications to ask those questions and provide proof of liability insurance in case you disarm at their suggestion.

[edporch]

The best answer is to just calmly say "No" as if it's the truth.
Then move on to the next question.

I went to my dentist and told him he better not ask me about my guns. He laughed, since he is an avid gun owners himself
