Many patients lie about how they feel and their medical conditions when visiting the doctor's office. I doubt there's any legal obligation to answer anything truthfully.
There isn't. For most things it's in the patient's best interest to be honest, but this isn't patient care related. Several years ago my PCP asked me if I had guns in the house. I told him yes. He asked if I kept the guns and ammunition separate. I told him that they wouldn't be much good to me if I did that.
He never brought it up again.
I've taken my PCP to the range multiple times. And his wife...

Cute diversion but its to get it recorded into the "system"When the patient answers yes to that last question, someone from his care team explains that locking up the firearm can make his home safer. She offers him a gun lock and a pamphlet with information on secure storage and firearm-safety classes. And all of this happens during the visit about his ankle.
I copied and pasted the link, thought it would come with a description. My badWhy wouldn’t you just give us a brief synopsis of your post. Or put it in the title. People are getting lazy. Even reptile posts good titles.
I always have fun with that one... ... up until my wife gives me that dirty look.I don't recall ever being asked about guns, but a while back, the MD said, "Do you feel safe at home?"
I laughed.
I know, it's a valid question for many people.
Likewise. Never an issue with my old PCP. My new PCP has asked me a million questions about my health... but not one yet about firearms.My old doctor knows that I have fire arms used to get test for lead, my new doctor have not ask the ? yet.
Not sure if serious. "Most gun owners" are not like the majority of people on this forum, they often have a different worldview of gun ownership vs what you or I or others here likely do. The AMA is doing this shit from top down to promulgate the mindset of "guns r bad" or "guns r specil and dangeresss" etc.Most gun owners are not going to answer truthfully or at all, so why bother asking?
A few years back I was being asked these questions and was laughing when I asked the very nice assistant who I’d known for years “Who answers this shit”? Her reply was you would be shocked.I don't recall ever being asked about guns, but a while back, the MD said, "Do you feel safe at home?"
I laughed.

Or visiting the hospital. I always asked the patient if they used any recreational drugs when they would come in with an infection in their arms or feet. I already knew the answer because their urine toxicology screen results were already in the computer. When they said no, I would ask them then why did your urine test come back positive for opioids, coke, THC, alcohol, and benzo's? Crickets time! Then I would say, I'm not the police. If you want help and to get out of here ASAP, I need the truth. More crickets or I was told it was a pressure treated wood splinter or the dreaded brown reuse, not recluse, spider bite!Many patients lie about how they feel and their medical conditions when visiting the doctor's office.
