[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1751003, member: 9374"] I don't consider it a standard screening question. It simply is. You don't set the standard, and the standard has no solid basis in fact or evidence. It is, however, the standard, and it is the bar used to measure against in both the court of law and the court of public opinion. As I said... if you are not risking everything you have ever worked for based on the flippant answers given in this thread, then I am not surprised if you have a stance that the question has no relevance and doesn't belong. I wouldn't expect you to. But you should know that your doctors aren't out to get you, they're just out to protect themselves and their families. If that makes them bad people or bad doctors, then by all means, find another one. As time goes on, I find I care less and less about what many of my patients think of me. It's just not worth the hassle of jumping through 1000 hoops to try to keep everybody happy, when I've learned that at the drop of a hat, there is no loyalty and I will be thrown under the bus with [B]every other medical professional[/B] who doesn't allow them to practice McDonald's drive-thru medicine and just order the tests and give them the pills they want. Because we're all the bad guys. Look up splitting as a defense mechanism and you will see the way 90+% of Americans feel about their healthcare providers. I care about doing the right thing, about practicing good medicine, and about protecting myself and my family. The fact is, we as a nation have allowed things to become the way they are, they are NOT going to go back to "the good old days" and medicine has zero resemblance to what it is intended to be or used to be.
