My wife is a nurse at an urgent care and says the question is on all of the triage forms. She refuses to ask anybody and just leaves it blank.

I think my answer would be "how is the answer to that question pertinent to the reason for my visit to your office today?" - it's a trick question, there is no right answer.

That question is so outdated. The new form should ask- "Is there any ammo in your home, specifically .22lr?"

ROFL

I wouldn't answer that question if it popped up on a medical form, and I'd tell the doctor to skip all "safety" questions so as not to waste our time in an interview. Whether I have guns, a pool, a staircase, uncovered outlets, locked medicine cabinets or anything else at home isn't for the doctor to worry about and certainly not for her to put in my child's record.

I was asked this same question during a routine check up for one of my kids too. I have been a patient of my Dr. for years and I know that he is a avid shooter and outdoorsman. BUT, he works for Mercy (I didn't want to use their name but I don't know how to get around it and get my msg across) and they have specific practices that goes along with being a Catholic hospital network. For example, they won't tie women's tubes while doing a C-section if that is what the mother wants to do. They just do things according to their own rules. When my Dr asked that question, I got the distinct feeling that it was "I have to ask you this" moment. He didn't really even have a straight face about it...not smiling or smirking, but not a poker face either. I simply told him that my house was perfectly safe in regards to firearms. He did smile at that answer and we moved on.

Just wondering if mine was a similar situation.

What's worked best for me is to just cut a loud fart anytime they ask a question I don't think is pertinent. If they ask again I just crap myself.
