Problem is, given current Oregon laws, our doctor can have our guns confiscated, and many doctors probably think a gun only endangers the owner. And if you mouth off the doctor might consider that aggressiveness that warrants confiscating your guns. If any doctor asks me about guns I'm gonna say I don't have any.
Ill say, "you're fired". And get a new doctor.
As an LEO, I spar with doctors and nurses constantly. They always want to "help". I'll bring some guy into the ER to examine an immediately hazardous medical condition. As soon as they talk about anything chronic, I shut it down. I'm not going to sit there all night as some drugged-out idiot tries to get free healthcare on my departments dime. Then, the doctor or nurse doesn't want to give me information because of HIPPA. I keep a copy of the part that makes me exempt to it in my vest. They try to get me to not disclose medical information. I remind them I'm NOT a covered entity and will tell EVERY LEO/EMT/Firefighter, before they come in contact with the guy who has HIV, Hep C, MRSA, etc.
Many medical people love to mindphuq people into fitting into their view of the world. Not me.
