Seeing the thread, "Doctors vs Gunowners" brought to mind a visit I made to a civilian (as opposed to the military doctors I normally see)doctor some time back. On the questionnaire they had, the questions were asked as to whether I owned any guns, how many, and where they were stored. I absolutely refused to answer those questions.
Has anyone else had that sort of experience? What was the doctor's reaction to your refusal to answer (mine got irate)?
For the record, I told the good doctor that whether or not I owned guns, how many, or where they were kept was not relevant to my medical treatment and therefore was none of her business. That was after she tried to chew me out for not answering.
I think that type of question is when you take your child for a check-up. I took my 5 year old about 2 months ago to the doctor and I had the same question on the form. I also would not answer it. I told my doctoer it had nothing to do with a check-up for my daughter.
What is the purpose?Ahhhh, that makes sense. I still wouldn't answer, but at least I can see some sort of a purpose.
More 'karma' since there is no credibility.What is the purpose?

That is exactly right.It's a questionnaire the AMA is telling their Dr's to use.
If my doctor even gave me that questionnaire it would be the last time they saw me. If they got irate at me, well there would be a scene.
Given that many more children die in car accidents and from drowning wouldn't it make more sense (assuming the AMA didn't have an agenda and they do) to ask:
Do you have any standing water 3" or deeper anywhere in our around your home?
Do you ever transport your child in a motorized vehicle and if so do you use car seats and other child specific safety devices?
