Forget your insurance card next time you go to the doctor you might want to bring your gun license because the president is just empowered -- doc.
To ask if you're backing -- and -- you are past that little tidbit to uncle -- The idea is to screen out potential violent patients but don't tell Lazio.
-- is losing its faces.
This is really.
Weird how does it work what does it -- -- to do.
Well first of all -- reminds me of Obama care to begin with which is it was a bunch of bureaucrats moving into the doctor's office and making these requirements or.
Giving us suggestions.
That are that are ludicrous -- they have nothing to do in real medical practice can you imagine me saying I'm not a psychiatrist right.
So I say open your mouth you open your mouth or check your councils and -- by the way you have a gun.
I mean how irrelevant I don't ask people if they have -- -- why is that relevant to an internist practice or pediatricians practice.
His -- at the end of last -- -- -- enjoy it could you -- -- you have a gun.
Well certainly in that environment suits us how all the way to bring it up but I I -- to doctor about.
What is the motivation if it's it's it's screen out potential.
Are problematic patients -- those.
Who you're worried about let's -- you that your very good judge characters -- you're not here or are judging their bodies -- that there are problems that.
But you can probably detect someone who's a little off -- so the next week but guess would be -- or are you -- need -- -- you have a gun rights.
It's ten leaps away look millions of people in this country own guns and -- -- very law abiding and they've they're coming in them their blood pressure checked.
All I can see a situation where psychiatrist is worried that a very violent patient or -- very unstable one or an aggressive one.
Might have a -- they might use in violence and they know that if their homicide only have to report that they don't need President Obama reminding you.
Have a baby every time they took there are here's or you're -- -- -- doctor let's say that patient.
You had you were worried about but you didn't go too far asking about whether he or she had a -- Goes on a shooting Rampage they traces visits and what he did prior.
They discover we want to see doctor Siegel that the -- never related is deserted as soon as -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I can be sued for not suggesting something that some federal agency or in this case the president -- suggest we should -- -- bit crazy malpractice risk.
Understood that we see this is -- it it editions of the affordable care where.
It would it compel doctors.
To do a little bit more and and say you know.
You don't that you -- -- but it it's an odd thing that does bring up and a conversation.
I -- I guess you say I'm I'm compelled ask you if you have -- -- That's.
Right and that's stupid right.
Now listen I want to do the flip side for a second.
I do think there should be some questions about people that are have proven mental health diagnoses you know the idea like I don't assign you to find.
-- -- Not exactly exactly I mean it in in the case like sandy hook if and maybe there should be some restriction on someone's mother having free with free amount of guns in the house with someone that has.
-- diagnosis.
Or an oral -- Colorado maybe that's a very very very specific that.
You don't actually there's not going to be a lot of things the president wants to do these executive accident went to about a lot of my like.
You know to try to get to the source from the site -- characters and society there's a way to screen about early.
Here's what I don't like then putting the pressure on my doctor to identify them and -- has enough -- to deal with including his daughter.
Health care -- -- I love both those points.
Malpractice risk number one and two it's ludicrous he's not in -- doctor's office the president is thinking ideologically in a real doctor's office.
There's no situation where I would ask someone if they -- -- I know violated doctor -- client privilege -- and you're not violating it if there -- direct threat to themselves or others that's the only time but you made that call and if you didn't make that call that you're held liable if that guy does do something in this under the situation they have bad decisions and -- -- going to court once this goes forward.
I'm gonna end up doing certified in their little view in the future now knowing it is that Iraq might be borne out -- -- -- not.
Will US that question.
No no and also didn't know -- no patients gonna come back to me from out of certain I am -- energy that I -- -- -- of the -- There's a lot of laws of the land that we don't follow on the -- -- people if they own guns period.
Now.
Nonetheless I think -- unstable cycle hundred children and Obama and cut back on well doctor -- and thank you very very much.
Criminals this is the -- you wanna see.
I'm kidding can affect.
-- CEOs that we wanna see if you can't get access.
To got a gun because.
It out and -- -- it is ridiculous is that it's and it's absurd all right doctor thank you very much well.
