When 2/3s of homicides are sucides done by gun. The truth is, if an individual is diagnosed with heavy depression and sucidal tendencies. This ususally has also got alcohol/drug abuse as well... A doctor should be able to ask does the person have a gun in the house.
Sucide by Gun is easier and effective way of commiting sucide... Hanging yourself has less than half the success rates (alot of people commit sucide being drunk...
Doctors are entrusted to save lives and asking lifecycle questions is just comment sense...
Why are the Right Wing want to get the government to interfere with doctors and their patients... Massive Government Overreach...
No, we want laws that prohibit doctors from getting personally involved with their patents--especially children which is what we are talking about here.
No, doctors are not entrusted to ask "lifecycle" questions unless they are a psychiatrist or in the mental health field. Medical doctors practice medicine. That should be their only concern.
However what we have here are nosey leftists who practice medicine and want to use their profession to promote their personal political agenda.
If I hire you to fix my car, keep your politics at home.
If I hire you to cut my lawn, keep your politics at home.
If I hire you to babysit my children, keep your politics at home.
If I hire you because my child has a rash on his elbow, keep your politics at home.
All doctors are required by law to report any suspected abuse. Sorry you don't like that.
"Suspected abuse" is determined by injuries to the child, not by whether his parents own a gun.
Suspected abuse is determined by what ever criteria the doctor wants to use.
Wrong.
So doctors regularly regularly check with you on their judgement calls? I'm impressed.
