Now over the years we have all had to fill out
those
papers of who you are, what you have had in your
life
time and who is going to pay the bill
information.
This is when you go to a new doctor.. Usually the
name, rank, address, and who is going to pay for
this,
fills up the first page... then if you are
lucky.. what
you have had over the years is a matter of a
check list,
on the second page.
Not anymore.. and not necessarily just when you
got to
a new doctor.
Case in point, the King had to go in for his
yearly check up. They hand him a clip board and a bunch of
papers... which of course, like most men with their wives with
them.. hand the clip board to her. I looked at this.. and then told the gal, you know this is just his yearly check up and the same
thing is true this year is the same as last year. She replies, with no reaction, this is a new form... so please fill it out.
I take it back to the chair where I was sitting
and started to fill it out.. Well, I am here to tell you... I ended up
marking N/A on a good share of it..
Oh, I filled out the same old, same old.. name,
rank and who is going to pay for this... then clicked off the
list of what he has had in his life time.. and also what meds he is
taking.. Which when you consider the doctor is the one who
prescribed them to him.. you would think they would already have
that in the records.
Both the King and I carry copies of the papers
they give you when you pick up your meds from the pharmacy..
just in case. It has the dose as well as the name and etc.
But now.. they want to know..... do you own a
gun? What is you sex life is like... to the embarrassing point of
how often and etc.
N/A..... N/A..... N/A.... N/A... are you thinking
of suicide?
No, and HELL NO.
I had heard that they were doing this for the
service men.. and I can kind of understand with the new vets... with
suicide being a daily happening... but the common man? And even if ... just saying..
even if the person who is suppose to be filling
out these papers, is he or she really going to admit, they have sex
rarely? and why?and are they going to admit they are thinking of
suicide? Last I heard they are the last one to admit it... and
then lastly....
DO YOU OWN A GUN.. what person.... especially a
man who
lives in Idaho... does NOT own a gun... ok, ok, there are the rare ones.. but i think we can safely say 85% or more of
the men do. And in this day and age... who is going to admit
it...
Remember the doctor probably only reads about
half of this stuff, and if you are a long time patient... he rarely
does... he asked you, so what is new?
But the office staff does read it... and the insurance people do... and frankly.. it is none of THEIR
business about my
husband's sex life and if he owns a gun... he is only here because he needs his meds updated.. And none of these things have anything to do with what he has. And if there is more.. he will talk to the
doctor
about it, not write it down.
