Common practice everywhere but some doctors don't toe the AMA gun hating line and just ignore the question.

Have you asked your doctor about how the information got in there? |

I'm going to go out on a limb and and say posting on here identifies you as a gun owner....
Wouldn't worry about it if your doctor knows about it too... |

Went to the Doc last week-
Apparently I have cataracts. She wanted to know when I first noticed the problem. I explained it was first noticed when I was trying to sight in an (AIR) gun in the backyard.

I have an online account with a practice like you describe. I just checked it for updates, and there is no mention of being a gun owner. Neither the specialist or primary care doctor has ever asked about guns. |

Probably 99.9% of the visitors to this site own guns, but the only thing I know about "beardog 30" is that you claim to reside in the US. I don't know if you lock all your guns in a safe, or whether they're scattered around the house. I just didn't expect this information to be asked when going in for a sore throat! |

I think it's a federal mandate that those two questions be physically present in a well visit chart, and also that the fields are checked "yes" or "no". I think most doctors don't really care to ask or care about the answer and just check "no" for 99% of patients seen unless something is volunteered or grossly worrisome for self-harm.

OP, every medical practice/insurance company has a process for correcting medical records. Submit a correction pointing out that you don't have any guns and think they are icky. If they say that the information came from your son's medical records, slam them for a HIPAA violation, as they are revealing his medical records.

They asked your son because he's less apt to lie or know the reason for the lie.
Guess who has access to med records now that Obama care and electronic recordkeeping mandates? Oh yeah, the feds. Never tell the truth. |

That's interesting.
I have never been asked that question, but after reading this thread, I guess it is possible, perhaps even likely, that this is part of my personal medical information for the reason being that for years I have requested my eye doc under correct my right eye glasses prescription so I can more easily focus my right eye on the front sights of my firearms. Hmmmmmm...... |

My previous Family Physician knew I had guns because he and I had been to the range before. My Cardiologist does because he's a duck hunter.
I was asked once. I glared at the nurse and she skipped over the question. |

Me: "Do you have any firearms in the house?"
Doc: "Are you a closet freak that masturbates?" Doc: "That's NONE of your business !!!!" Me: "Exactly. Have a nice day." And then I would leave. I had a great doc and she up and disappeared. The practice told me she retired but she was only late thirties I would guess so I'm dubious that she did. She just had a kid two years ago. My doc knew I shot though. I asked her to check my lead levels, she asked if I was eating paint chips I said I shoot a lot indoors.
ETA: I have DRILLED it into my kids that if the doc or anyone at school EVER asks this question they are to say nooooooooo. |
