If a patient comes in with symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, they are absolutely going to ask about household detectors. It would be irresponsible not to, if they're observing the correct information. Can you imagine how ludicrous it would be if someone responded, "THAT'S NUNYA DAMN BUSINESS," and proceeded to…

I am trying to unpack all the stupid in this...

let me tell you, as a neurologist you HAVE to ask your dementia patients this. One of the saddest things about Alzheimer's is that the pt is totally unaware of their cognitive issues and in someone that owns guns and develops memory impairment there comes a point when it's not safe for them to drive, LET ALONE use…

You seriously don't see any reason?

Doctors should certainly not be prohibited by the government from asking about exposure to radon detectors, carbon monoxide, etc. Just because doctor isn't going to go over every possible accidental disaster does not mean that the doctor should be legally prohibited from asking about one of the most common ones!

It is awful especially considering how many kids are killed are injured in firearm accidents. It does specifically exclude psychiatrists, so it at least does have a mental health provision. It's shortsighted though in many ways. Not the least of them being that primary care doctors often recognize mental illness…

Another example this debate calls to mind is horseback riding, because when I started teaching my niece to ride horses, she mentioned it to her pediatrician and he gave my sister a ton of information about helmets and head injury risk. If we had a law that he couldn't ask about her hobbies (that was what prompted the…

1. A state representative claiming to be a doctor means nothing to me anymore. They have no concept of protection of patients' privacy, respect for their autonomy or treatment without judgement. For them, towing the line comes first. Being a so-called public servant and agent of healing is not on the list.

Asking about guns shouldn't be banned, more like it should be mandatory. I work in a psychiatric hospital with kids that are, for the most part, either highly aggressive, suicidal, or both. Determining what means of violence are available to our patients help us determine what they need to be safe, to themselves and…

But they need to know if their patient is safe especially if they are suicidal or in danger.

Here in UK when i was suicidal i was asked if i had any guns or knives in the house, we live in country in which it is very hard to get a gun, yet they still had to ask so they could look out for me. This bill is disgusting and backwards, especially in a State where a lot of people have guns.

Then the 12 people who already liked it would have been swindled into liking an obsolete form of the joke.

It's about ethics in commenting.

Jim Croce agrees.

I feel like if you get hit by somebody named "Big Jim", you're gonna have a bad time.

I said that very thing yesterday. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out.

This actually made me tear up a little for her. That's so sweet. I want to thank you FOR her.

EGG WAR CONTRIBUTION:

ALL THE TEARS

We tipped 30 bucks on a 20 dollar meal once. It was hilarious. The woman tried to give us part of the tip back, we told her, we were super appreciative of her service and wanted to show her. Then she looked at the tip, and looked at us and this real wobbly voice said

Exactly jexx! I love to tip too. It's a rush and makes me feel GOOD! My favorite? Those horribly overworked servers who work at breakfast-all-day establishments like Dennys and Baker's Square and IHop. Can you imagine how much they run during a shift? Good grief, they usually have 10+ tables going at any given time!…
