A few days ago, I took my 1 week old daughter for her first visit to the pediatrician. After the doctor gave my daughter the once over, she started asking questions about family medical history. After she asked about "addiction", she asked if there were any firearms in the home. I said, "Yes". She then asked, "How many?", to which I replied "A lot". She then asked me if the firearms and ammunition were all locked and stored in separate locations. It took me that long to realize that she was asking questions that had nothing to do with my child's health. I told her that none of my firearms were anywhere that my two-year-old or newborn would be able to access.
Then I had to ask her, what all of the firearm related questions had to do with my child's first doctor visit. She told me that (I forgot the abbreviation for the organization she quoted was), "recommends" that those questions be asked.
The line of questioning caught me off guard. I was never asked these questions any of the other times I took my two-year-old to the same doctor's office.
Have any of you had a similar line of questions at the pediatrician?
