Doctor asks; Are there guns in your home?
- Thread starter jafo50
- Start date
I had a doctor at one point who asked me if I owned firearms. The key word there is HAD. I found a new one. Of course, some hospitals get carried away with their background health questionnaires. When they do, I just ignore them, or write N/A, or my favorite is to answer it crudely and nonsensically, and see if they even actually read it, - which typically they do not.
Now, my medical insurer has started with this nonsense where they call me up and want to schedule a nurse to come out to my home, and "assess me". At no charge of course. I asked them, - Is this required by my medical coverage? Well, no.... they said. Well, there's your answer then. When I want to see my doctor, I'll make an appointment. Until then, get lost.

Dr: Do you guns within your home?
Me: Not since the boating accident of '05........
Me: Not since the boating accident of '05........
Lying to a Dr is common...... Dr's lying to us, is typical.
Therefore, unless they have a record of my permits, the answer is "no guns."
Perjury to a Dr is legal.
Worst case of a Dr lying to me was that my cholesterol was very bad, and made me take statin meds..it crippled me as they attack your joints..I got off them, but did nto tell him and the test results were the same.......still much better. I quit him
Last tests without any statins for 5 years is that my cholesterol levels are very low........excellent in fact...no meds.
Fucking Dr was lying to me to push pills, for which they all get a kickback for prescribing drugs, if you did not know. More scripts written, more side income.
Best advice..

He didnt "make" you take anything, you could have said no. My cholesterol is hovering around 200 for the last 20 yrs. They tried to give me a statin and I said no. Told him if you saw how much bacon alone I eat you'll wonder why it is so low. I'm not taking meds for something I can control, if I want, with diet.

Most people don't know that their total cholesterol is made up of their HDL, LDL and 20% of their triglycerides. If your triglycerides are 150 that's 30 points added to the total cholesterol number.

And if you saw how much bacon I eat you would know I dont give a fuck.
My total was told to me, as 200, for many years, by my old GP, before that new asshole forced me to take the meds, if I wanted my bp meds..........Empire Plan wanted me on a stain. When I secretly quit the statin, he said that my "LOW"readings were great.................way low............. that is because I was always low and the 200 readings were always bogus...scientific method on display. I trashed the statins so the INS co would not bitch. It is all about the Benjamins...blood tests are altered.
He continuuely wanted stress tests every 6 months.............CHURNING THE ACCOUNTSI never had a heart attack and most of his victims were heart patients............not me. I was there for bp meds.
While I was in the ICU for over 35 days with Covid, they had a monitor and 02 on me 24/7--chest ex rays each day, blood tests thru the wrist each day............ finally gave up monitoring me, and put me on a ward for another 30 days... hospital food had my readings like all under 100. They would feed me 15 peas, a cup of jello and small piece of meat.
They told me I was going to die everyday, but the "America Cares Act" passed by Trump paid the entire bill of over $350,000. They made money on me, too.
I was expected to end my days in the nursing home.........I split wood, ride the Harley, but I do need new knees.

Asking if you are stressed or have anxiety is also part of the process to document people as possible mental defectives.

Why do you say forced? They cant force you to take meds. I take bp meds and refused the statin for years. I have the Empire Plan as well and nobody from there has had anything to say. Dr has been pushing for this new "cancer scan" every time I walk in for my diabetic treatment. Told him I've been a chain smoker for over 50 years, there aint nothing we need to see, my lungs are probably like smoked salmon, just write my insulin scrips and leave me alone. And "no, I would not like a colonoscopy". They do get a kick back for every patient they refer for that scan and probably every test they want you to take.

Well Doc, before I answer that question you should know that I get a nine hundred and fifty dollar consultation fee for that topic, more if I have to expand on the subject.

You do know that Dr's always have to write down a "state of mind" diagnosis for the Health Ins provider.
Empire Plan subcontractors also read your blood test data.
That pill pushing Dr I quit, had no hospital privilidges..was a quack......... did force me to take the statin if I wanted my BP meds..........when I secretly quit.. the continued great low numbers, and current true readings tell the tale. Empire Plan is off the statin questions, because of the low numbers...................semi managed care.
Everyday I was in the ICU for Covid, they tried to put me on an anti depressant, but I refused and told them I was not going to die......................and was not depressed or anxious..that likley provoked a diagnosis of insane, as they knew I was going to die.............

Had a colonoscopy yesterday and there were a few questions during the "prep", one of which was whether I had been depressed or had suicidal thoughts recently.
"Well, having to leap out of bed at two o'clock this morning and rush to the bathroom for the 15th time in a day was somewhat depressing but not quite at the suicidal level."
The nurse said she would take that as a "no". Sharp, that one.
I will have to admit that the changes brought about by aging are a bit of a bummer. My previous meeting with Dr. Colin Probe years ago resulted in me being medically certified as a perfect asshole -- nothing found. Yesterday I was almost perfect - one small polyp removed.
Removed being the operative word here so I am now back to being perfect and proud of it.
One last comment - I see a lot of ads for weight loss schemes and products. Often they speak of being able to lose 10 pounds in less than a month. My bathroom scales tell me I dropped 5 pounds in day. Ha!!!!!!

I buy thirty pound boxes of Bacon Ends from the Mennonite Store: We go through at least three a year.
back to the topic: The VA only asks if you've got thoughts/intention on hurting yourself or someone else, Homeless, being abused, etc...Probably got tired of retorts from former Soldiers like "how many do you want to buy?" "Guns are icky" or best of all "NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!"

It seems to me that a Physicians Assistant is probably not qualified to assess your mental health. Probably just recording the responses for someone else to review.

I assume by "we" you mean the whole family? I was buying slab bacon from a place in Kentucky, 5-7 lb slabs plus 4 lbs of their breakfast sausage every month. I would cut 1/2" or so slices and put it in the oven then the broiler. I'd eat the whole thing and the sausage by the end of the month. By myself, my wife didnt like it and my dogs got none ( I give them the crap Oscar Mayer my wife buys). So when my cholesterol went over 260 back in January, I stopped buying the slab bacon. I still eat bacon but not like I got 2 assholes and my cholesterol is down to 158 last check. Was happy to tell my dr to stuff his statins.

Physicians on the left like to believe that firearms are a public health issue.
I have corrected some of them. After all, firearms ownership is a personal health issue. If you need one, and don't have one, then you may never need one again (kind of like a parachute).

Please, tell me more about your Kentucky bacon hook-up!
Do you have any guns in your home?
In my home? No, of course not. I've got the berried in the yard!

My doctor has known me since we were 5 years old . We rode the bus together, partied in high school and college together (Apparently I partied a little more than her , she went and became a MD ) She knows me really well and doesn’t ask me stupid questions.
I buy that 30 pound box and break it down into Gallon Freezer Bags: there's a lot of meat with little fat because the fat is usually in chunks and I toss it. Sometime it's really thick, sometimes there are strips like you'd find in a nice package, other times it's just bits-pieces-chunks.... essentially it's the left overs from the really nice sliced bacon we're use to seeing in store packages. I make my DIL a Bacon-egg-cheese sandwich every morning when she drops off our Granddaughter as she often times doesn't get a break or chance to eat... makes a hell of a sandwich, so yea one of those gallon bags will last about two weeks, less if the kids are over for breakfast.
Lets talk about fat.
Fat is an essential nutrient. You cannot live on lean meat alone, like fish, for you will starve. Fat and blubber is necessary to eat, to be used in the digestion purpose, and meat contains vitamin d, among other vitamins.
Vegans need oils too...........plant oils are a poor substitute for animal fats.
Bacon is a top choice food.
Eskimos harvest blubber, or die of starvation.

Like all other sorts of malnutrition, there is a specific disease associated with a deficienct of carbs and/or fats.
Also called "rabbit starvation" because some people who used to eat a diet exclusively of very lean meat (like rabbit) could actually starve to death no matter how much of it they ate.
