I have never had a pediatrician ask those questions. Again, doctors are most likely going to evaluate the specific patients needs and provide extra education on those matters to ones that they are worried about. Any other parents around here? Do you get asked where you store poisons, medication, or whether or not you have a child seat when you go to the pediatrician?oftenreading said:

Are you being ironic when you say "literally"? Asking about guns is, literally, a doctor's business, particularly when there are children in the home. It's a public health issue, just like asking about car seats, safe storage of medications and poisons, and avoiding choking hazards.PJPOWER said:

Oh, come on - this is what you said: "It is literally none of your business...I assume that is what most gun owners are telling the doctors that ask about gun ownership as well" . You're going to try to say that you're not saying that it isn't a doctor's business?
And of course I've had doctor's ask about car seats, safe storage of medication and choking hazards. That's a no-brainer, if you have kids.
This is pretty elementary, sorry if you are having trouble understanding.
Ha ha! Pot, kettle, black. Where did you say that the doctor would only ask those questions if they felt the person was irresponsible? Somehow I don't see that in your short sentence. Maybe I'm having trouble understanding because you didn't actually say that.
But in any case, you're wrong about that. It's routine for doctors to ask about health issues. It's kind of what they do. Yes, sometimes patients refuse to answer; that's a completely different issue than trying to claim it isn't their business.
If someone went to the dr for a sore throat and they asked if I owned any firearms, then I see it within the realm of possibilities for them to tell the dr that it is none of their business or flat out lie and I do not blame them.
Did you miss the part where I said originally “when there are children in the home”? Doctors ask parents/caregivers about risks to children all the time. It’s their job. It’s weird that you’re disputing this. It’s got nothing to do with you going in to have your sore throat checked on.

No. If your child’s doctors haven’t asked about these basic things, they aren’t giving medical care to the accepted standards. Sorry, but it’s true.PJPOWER said:

Not true, again, most doctors are probably only going to ask about gun ownership if they are worried the patient is suicidal or homicidal. Similarly, a pediatrician wound only inquire about safe medication storage/seat belts if they feel the patient is “at-risk” and needs advice on those things. Sorry you are asked so often, but it sounds like your dr thinks you need extra education.oftenreading said:

I can totally see a Dr asking those questions if it was a teen parent or if a line of other questions led them to feel those questions were appropriate to ask, but not every patient that walks through their door. Same thing with firearms/knives; “Are you depressed or suicidal” if yes, then “do you have access to firearms or knives or drugs?” To access a suicidal/homicidal “at-risk” level.mcgruff10 said:

When I took both my newborns home from the hospital they make sure you have a proper car-seat and check to make sure you know how to properly fasten them in.
A couple of days after the birth a nurse comes into our house for a checkup. And every checkup or vaccination appointment we are asked about how things are at home, we are constantly asked questions. Due diligence, it's what professional healthcare providers do.
Edit: This is every parents experience that I know, it's standard procedure.....but in Canada, patients aren't a commodity.Post edited by dignin on0 -
I wouldn’t know anything about the requirements for Canadians. The nurses actually come to the homes a couple days afterwards? I think that is a good practice, but just out of curiosity, what happens if someone does not let them in the door? We are constantly asked questions as well, but they are more so developmental ones to be sure our child is on target and healthy (sleeping, eating, demeanor, etc). If those questions illicit negative responses, then i’m sure the dr would provide further education.dignin said:When I took both my newborns home from the hospital they make sure you have a proper car-seat and check to make sure you know how to properly fasten them in.

Whatever you say...oftenreading said:
Wow, you’re pretty defensive about basic public health issues.PJPOWER said:
My kiddo gets great medical care. Sorry your dr feels your family to be in an “at risk” population.oftenreading said:Well, we already knew that the American medical system was shit, so this is just another nugget of proof.
The American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines recommends discussing all of theses risks. Again, sorry to hear your kids aren’t getting appropriate medical care.
The guidelines apply to all families, not at risk families. All pediatriciams should be following them.
Now, are you storing medication safely, buckling your child up, being sure your tide pods are stored in a safe place? Do you have a trampoline (tons of kids get hurt on those). Does your child ride a bike? Are there scissors in the home? Do you have a swimming pool? What kind internet restrictions are in place in your home? Do you drink or do drugs around your children? How often do you clean your house and what do you clean with? What is the age of your car? Do you live near power lines? How many pets do you have and where do your pets reside? Do you listen to Justin Beiber? Can I hook you up to a polygraph to ensure you are answering all of these honestly?
All of these could be considered public health issues...but I doubt anyone gets asked all of these things when they go to the dr for a checkup.

“I work in a medical field”, lol. I guess I should just believe everything you say then.oftenreading said:
You’re funny!PJPOWER said:
Not true, again, most doctors are probably only going to ask about gun ownership if they are worried the patient is suicidal or homicidal. Similarly, a pediatrician wound only inquire about safe medication storage/seat belts if they feel the patient is “at-risk” and needs advice on those things. Sorry you are asked so often, but it sounds like your dr thinks you need extra education.oftenreading said:
No. If your child’s doctors haven’t asked about these basic things, they aren’t giving medical care to the accepted standards. Sorry, but it’s true.PJPOWER said:
I have never had a pediatrician ask those questions. Again, doctors are most likely going to evaluate the specific patients needs and provide extra education on those matters to ones that they are worried about. Any other parents around here? Do you get asked where you store poisons, medication, or whether or not you have a child seat when you go to the pediatrician?oftenreading said:
So, to sum up, it’s my fault for responding to what you wrote because it really wasn’t what you meant to write.PJPOWER said:
I guess you “jumped the gun” and responded while I was still editing the post. Sorry for the confusion. I have never been asked about gun ownership, seatbelts, poisons, etc. It is interesting that you have...oftenreading said:PJPOWER said:
As I said, the doctor would probably only ask those questions if the felt the person was irresponsible or uneducated...You are digging for something that isn’t there. I clarified what I meant, so if you still want to twist it to mean what you misinterpreted, then that is your twisted prerogative. Regardless, if someone doesn’t want to tell a Dr or pollster, they would probably say “it’s none of your business” like unsung said...or just lie.oftenreading said:PJPOWER said:
No, it is literally non of Halifax’s business. I was just saying that the response is probably typical of the one gun owners would give pollsters or doctors.oftenreading said:
Are you being ironic when you say "literally"? Asking about guns is, literally, a doctor's business, particularly when there are children in the home. It's a public health issue, just like asking about car seats, safe storage of medications and poisons, and avoiding choking hazards.PJPOWER said:
His response did appear quite “honest and factual”. It is literally none of your business...I assume that is what most gun owners are telling the doctors that ask about gun ownership as well. And pollsters for that matter.Halifax2TheMax said:
How is asking you a question a personal attack? You claimed to have traveled to 20 some countries. I asked you an honest question. Paranoid and afraid I see.unsung said:
I think you have me confused with those that lob personal attacks from the safety of their Mom’s basement. I’m sure someone here can help you with that.Halifax2TheMax said:
It’s what you respond with when you’re afraid of an honest answer. I thought you were a tough guy?unsung said:
Alex, I'll take That's None of Your F-ing Business for $500 please.Halifax2TheMax said:
Did you conceal carry in those some 20 other countries you visited?unsung said:Or actually make schools safe.
Afraid of an honest answer? The answer was completely honest and factual.
And by definition, a pollster asking about guns is literally their business, since they are being paid for that.
I’ve never had a doctor ask about car seats, safe storage of medication/poison, or things that could be a choking hazard...have you?
Oh, come on - this is what you said: "It is literally none of your business...I assume that is what most gun owners are telling the doctors that ask about gun ownership as well" . You're going to try to say that you're not saying that it isn't a doctor's business?
And of course I've had doctor's ask about car seats, safe storage of medication and choking hazards. That's a no-brainer, if you have kids.
This is pretty elementary, sorry if you are having trouble understanding.
Ha ha! Pot, kettle, black. Where did you say that the doctor would only ask those questions if they felt the person was irresponsible? Somehow I don't see that in your short sentence. Maybe I'm having trouble understanding because you didn't actually say that.
But in any case, you're wrong about that. It's routine for doctors to ask about health issues. It's kind of what they do. Yes, sometimes patients refuse to answer; that's a completely different issue than trying to claim it isn't their business.
If someone went to the dr for a sore throat and they asked if I owned any firearms, then I see it within the realm of possibilities for them to tell the dr that it is none of their business or flat out lie and I do not blame them.
Did you miss the part where I said originally “when there are children in the home”? Doctors ask parents/caregivers about risks to children all the time. It’s their job. It’s weird that you’re disputing this. It’s got nothing to do with you going in to have your sore throat checked on.
I work in a medical field. I know what the recommendations are.
