[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1750939, member: 9374"] If you want to look at it like that, fine. However, when you take a stand like that and one of your patients dies, you can bet that the authorities will ask why you didn't screen your patients for such things. When you stand to lose everything you've worked for for years, maybe decades, over such a simple thing, then maybe you'll understand. It's really easier for you as a patient to just say, "None of your business," than for your doctor to take the risk of a lawsuit in the future with every single patient by omitting what are considered these days to be "standard" screening questions. If you don't like it, you're always welcome to see another doctor. But those will be harder and harder to find as time goes on, and simply labeling your doctor as part of the evil of society for asking questions to protect his patients, his liability, his family and everything he owns, either professionally or personally, is painting with a pretty damn broad brush. If you're that militant about it, it's probably better you don't come see me, I could use patients who believe in a 2-way street that protects us both, rather than patients who believe I'm out to get them and don't give a damn about me, either. Just remember, militantism will only serve to alienate you. [/QUOTE]
