Since when did medical doctors start asking whether you wear your seatbelt? Anyone else notice this?
They asked my minor child this question in front of me, they didn't ask me. Seems sort of minor but I'd argue this is a dangerous precedent.
- This is a huge expanse in scope. Medical professionals aren't there to assess safety protocols. Are they going to ask whether you wear a helmet, whether you look both ways before crossing?
- What are they going to do with this information? Call child protective services? Flag mental health concerns? Use it to justify search and siezure, etc.
Weird for a child. Still weird for adults, too, but think it's how they try to label you as "risky behavior" or something like that which then gets you some mental illness diagnosis.
I stopped answering the ones (and switched drs) where they do the depression checklist for every single appt even though you are there for some physical reason. Just decline. Isn't their business.
