Hope this enlightens you on the real danger of smoking. Moreover, how full of crap our government really is, with facts!

Quoting: {SeaPunk} they had all my info from before only DR ive seen for this problem in the past and the ONLY 2 questions they asked was do I drink and smoke......... like I said before had NOTHING to do with what I was having done........ it was a foot/toe problem my 3rd time The article you link to is about Britain's NHS. That doesn't mean that kind of info gathering won't come down the pike here, but that article has nothing to do with the US. Meanwhile, how's your overall color? Are you at all overweight? Any disposition towards diabetes? You mention a foot problem, sugar in alchohol plus weight issues or a predisposition may have something to do with that problem. Is it gout? start taking an antacid every day and lay off the soda for awhile. Smoking impacts circulation. If your problem is circulatory, again, it's not out of line for your doc to try to understand more about you as they treat you. Grow a pair. I mean, good grief. It's your health. omitting information about your habits can also be deadly wrt drug interactions, etc. And hey, if you give up some of those habits, they want to know that, too. iglowinthedark |

He Who Walks The Line User ID: 27318186 United States 02/09/2013 02:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to the ER tonight and they asked me the same questions. They also asked if I had any weapons on me and I replied that I had a pocket knife but i considered it a tool not a weapon. The nurse then asked if I was in fear of bodily harm in my home. Thought that was very strange. I looked at my wife and told the nurse that I was most certainly not. The nurse cracked a joke about how I had to look at my wife for confirmation. Needless to say I didn't find it humorous. |
