They've asked me about guns occasionally ever since 2013.

The last time I went I wasn't asked about guns. I went to the North East clinic on Via Linda November of last year. They did a very good job had me in and out pretty quickly and my labs and follow ups were all done within the month.

Since they opened the satellite clinics things have gotten much better. They have asked me about guns during my last two annual checkups. Of course I don't have any.

Eh if and when they do ask me I'll regale them with sad tales of seafaring mishaps.

Never had this experience yet. Did you get asked during a PTSD interview?

Now they are asking 'Do you feel safe?' 'Are you in a safe environment?'. The Dr didn't like being laughed at.

I haven't really had any bad experiences. When they decided to fix my deviated septum from breaking my nose too many times they were great. The surgeon was some retired hollywood surgeon trying to help out. That was at the Phoenix downtown location.
