Pediatrician questions

I took my son for a sports physical and those questions were on the form we had to fill out. I wrote NOYDB beside the question about firearms in the house. When we got to the back for the actual physical the doctor asked about my answer, so I politely explained it to him. He told me in a rather snotty manner that he was required to ask these questions, and he asked me bluntly if we kept guns in the house. My son looked at him and said "Shoot yes, matter of fact Daddy's got one on him now".

Fastest physical ever!

LMFAO.... reminds me of days ago...

my kids went to the same schools i did, and were plenty there that remembered me...
oh you're HIS daughter
just try not to be like your daddy was

took my kids to my doc... he just grinned and took it with ease...
 
don't EVER leave your daughter alone with a doctor or nurse,make sure your wife goes with her,we had a doc try some funny stuff with my oldest when she was first developing and the doc just wanted to check to see if there were any "problems" if it wasen't for my wife they would of wheeled him downstairs and waited for the funeral home to get there,That **** still pisses me off when I think about it.
 
"Public health" is fertile land for the anti-gun prohibitionist to seed their propaganda. They approach it like a disease. The problem is firearms ownership is not a disease and to classify it as such you would have to ignore any positive effect, and that is exactly what they have accomplished.

Much of the "gun violence" medical journal articles are either created or supported by the Joyce foundation (millions in grants), Bloomberg's "John Hopkins-Bloomberg" School of Public Health or a few independents such as our own Dr. Arthur Kellermann (on Staff at Emory). Dr. Kellermann is the primary "researcher who took public funds (taxes) in grant money from CDC to create about 10 years of propaganda. He was also the same physician that stated "you are 43 times more likely to murdered in your home if you have a gun". That ridiculous conclusion was based on a small sample of a crime/drug infested inner city where felons had access to firearms in their house. Bull Crap was called and sure enough he back peddled and swapped it for the still dubious number of 2.7 times more likely. He has lost his integrity but the medical community largely ignores it and the leadership embraces his flawed methodology and conclusions. CDC had funding prohibited for this type of flawed research and now they want it back.

Think of it like the medical community studying only adverse drug reactions (ADR's) like say the drug Penicillin, devoting all resources and money into categorizing the types of morbity and mortality by age group. They would then list the cost to health care, show the raw numbers of deaths, all the while ignoring any positive benefit. They would then with this "Public Health" data attempt to draw conclusions and or develop policy. The reports are published in prominent Medical Journals (JAMA, New England, Pediatrics etc.).

It questions the researcher’s ethics and integrity. There is a bunch of money being tossed to feed this "data" farm and it is slowly bearing fruit and is critical for the push of gun prohibition.

It will take Physicians and Physician Extenders to call them out as well as the informed public.

Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership is now a project of the Second Amendment Foundation http://www.drgo.us/

Finally your daughter is awesome sir!

I'm a family medicine doctor. I am a bit of a gun nut.

I ask families all the time if they have guns and we discuss the safe handling of the guns, ensuring they are locked up if children are in the home, etc.

A doctor's two year old son died up here 3 mos ago when he went to his grandfathers, found a loaded 1911 on a table in the living room and shot himself with it.

You really get upset that someone would ask you if you keep your guns locked up around the kids?

Family no, someone that reports to the government, yes.
 
Like MCG DAWG, I too am in the medical field, slightly different area. Due the area of my practice, guns just don't come up very often. When they do, I don't ASK families about them. I tell them, "Make sure the guns you have are well maintained and out of reach of the kids at all times."

That's just good common sense. I don't care how many guns they have. I just want them to be sensible, responsible owners. If the parents get pissed because I tell them to exercise good judgment, there's nothing I can do about that. For every parent I see with good common sense, I see 100 with little or NO common sense. I hope I'm playing some role in preventing tragedies like the one MCG DAWG described. I don't ask. I tell, just assuming that everyone has a gun. In this neck of the woods, that's a good assumption.

This^^^^^ I would have stopped that type of questioning at the first question, not be proud that my kid answered them regardless of the form or manner in which they did so. Those of you who are condoning this type of government intrusion deserve what we will most certainly reap from it. This is no longer the America I grew up in. :mad:
