I happen to be commenting to make you understand what a beneficial encounter my cousin’s girl found viewing the blog. She even learned so many pieces, which included what it is like to possess an excellent giving nature to let a number of people quite simply fully understand several very confusing things. You undoubtedly did more than her expectations. Thanks for displaying these insightful, trustworthy, edifying and even unique guidance on the topic to Gloria.

A good doctor asks these types of questions. I’ve had my doctor ask my son if he wore his seat belt, bike helmet, etc. Then I was asked separately if we owned guns and if they were secure, if our smoke detectors had been checked recently. If my son had taken swimming lessons. AN ounce of prevention is worth everything!

For me this is not the political thing that so many are making it; it is a medical thing. At my age I am a sort of a regular in the office of one doctor or another. I am frustrated by the appointment time limits. I accused one doctor of being a five-minute man, and another defended him and insisted that the limit is 15 minutes–AND IT IS SET BY MEDICARE!
As far as I am concerned doctors simply DON’T HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT GUNS; they have too many medical issues to address–and too little time.

Let’s see, the GOP doesn’t want doctors to ask about guns, but does want them to perform unnecessary procedures on women who want abortions. Picking and choosing ifrom your deology is not a way to govern. Just fix the economy and stop worrying about our rights. Everytime our “leaders” try to legislate our freedoms, we are less free than before.

I’ve got a gun at home. I do regularly see a doctor for hypertension, and in response to someone else’s post, of course my doctor has asked me about my diet since it could have an impact on my hypertension. I don’t eat meat, watch my salt intake, eat a healthy diet, keep at a healthy weight in part to try and control my high blood pressure. If I were seeing a doctor for depression or other mental health issues and my doctor was concerned about my mental state then it makes perfect sense for a doctor to ask about gun access.

We shouldn’t be legislating what doctors can and cannot discuss with their patients.

The accounting on the expenses to litigate these useless lawsuits is already close to 1,000,000. If you want to read the details, they are in the Sun-Sentinel….How much more hard earned tax payers’ dollars this republican administration wants to spend in these idiotic lawsuits that are only based in ideolgy….

Republican values place sales of guns and bullets over human life. Same goes for environment, who cares about clean air and water for the masses (as long as the republicans immediate family has access to clean air and water). The republican / NRA vision- everyone carries a sidearm. A return to the days of the wild west. Open daily gunfights in markets, movies, roadways, parks. All conflicts are resolved with gunfights. Guns and ammo sales go through the roof as do the daily death rates. An economy based on death

Why is Rick Scott and the NRA telling me and my doctor what we can talk about, and what my doctor can ask me about? Talk about a nanny state . . . with Rick Scott and the NRA as chief nannies. I thought this was a free country. My physician and I should be ble to speak freely about whatever we want. My physician can then advise me, and I can take or reject his advice as I choose.

This law is government intrusion into private freedoms. The NRA has no business telling my doctor what he can talk about..

I guess you are half blind, because I am not a Mr and work with some of the so called ex professionals that you claim. God bless their everlasting souls, but some of them are so messed up from war and still own firearms. They were nothing more than private citizens when they began. The blind leading the blind as always. LOL

also to Mr. K.C…. Our Army is not a militia, and it is comprised entirely of professionals, as anyone that is serving, or has served our country in the last three decades could tell you.

@K.C. … “I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend with my life you’re right to say it”
And as far as being “half blind”, well, my man, I’d tell you to look in a mirror, but I don’t believe that you’d be able to see it very well. LOL

And, by the way Bob, our military is comprised of “our private citizens” that have shed much blood for this beautiful nation that we are so proud to call home. They shed blood to this day and are our militia of present. Maybe that is where private first class originated.

Excuse me Bob, when people first off start insulting others for using their first amendment rights, it makes me shudder that they more than likely own a gun. People that get on here and call others morons and brainless because they have an opinion different from their own, have no respect for our constitution what so ever. Their respect for it is only to satisfy “THEIR” wants and desires. You have no idea if I own a gun or not, or have a pool or not, or have a dog or not, but what I do have I am certain to make sure that others do not get hurt by it. You can not speak for me, so don’t speak for others that are careless citizens. And if you look back at the year the 2nd amendment was created, well Bob my man, things have changed drastically since then, or do you go through life half blind?

Hey You Gun Nuts. NOBODY IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY! AGAIN, NOBODY IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY! I sure hope they eliminate the 100 round clips (except for military and law enforcement) that are only used for creating mass casualties.

The quacks at Gardens Medical Center didn’t need a gun to kill my father. They just gave him an overdose of drugs. I guess I should ask my doctors if they know what drugs do what and when to use them. So you doctors go on practicing medicine and I will continue to practice my rifle aim.

First of all, as anyone in Florida with any brains should be aware of, there are already strict laws on the books about keeping firearms out of the reach of children.
Secondly, to those such as K.C. who would love to use The Constitution for toilet paper, a militia was intended to be comprised of private citizens, and NOT to be part of the government. Obviously, K.C.’s idea of a ‘miltia’ would be one like the People’s Militia of Mao Tse Tsung, or the Islamic Militia of the ayatollahs in Iran. Need I say more?

If you own a gun and are proud of it, there’s no reason to get so upset when the question is asked. Aren’t you in favor of gun safety? That’s what this is about. If you don’t like your doctor for asking a simple safety question, find another one. Typical NRA knee-jerk exaggerated reaction. If you care so much about the Bill of Right, then what about the 1st Amendment?

Pediatricians can and should ask parents whether guns, medicine cabinet, liquor cabinet are secure, whether they have a pool and if it’s gated properly, etc. Until kids stop dying because they found an unsecured gun, took pills they found or drown in unguarded pool, y’all can shut up.

The incidence of firearm fatalities and injuries in this country definitely warrants an MD to inquire if firearms are kept in a home where minors live. I also think doctors should ask about drugs in the home for very valid reasons (if they don’t already) as well. Kids know everything that’s in their house because they are inquisitive and will look through drawers, closets, under beds, etc. I remember doing it when I was a kid and both my boys did the same thing growing up. All too often a child finds a loaded weapon an adult so carelessly set down unsecured in the home. Too many incompetent adults are granted permits.

You NRA supporters really need to get over the second amendment. It was meant for the militia to protect the citizens, not to protect careless gun fanatics that have somehow populated our great nation with illegal guns killing unsuspecting citizens. Incompetent legal gun owners are the reason we have so many illegal guns killing innocent people. Maybe like people that want parents to be responsible for their brats, maybe we should enact an amendment to make gun owners responsible for their weapons. Just like Walt Disney would roll over in his grave to watch current Disney productions, our founding forefathers, would stand up and say what the “F” and fall back down and roll over in theirs.

Did any of you really think that tricky Rick would spend 70 mil of his own money unless he planned getting it back with interest?? The people who voted for him are living in this bubble that they even vote against their own best interest, they vote party lines, not what is best for this country.

@Dr. Bob: whether or not their is a gun in the home doesn’t change why a patient needs a doctor.

What’s even worse is the growing number of gun-owners that are hoping to prevent others from owning them.

I cannot believe We even refer to this Country as the United States anymore. They are so scared of revolt–they want to disarm the Country.

Things must be ready to really get bad.
