GuyBeardmane Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Scheduled my appointment and gave a lot of information last Wednesday. Came in early for new patient onboarding. The first question I was asked for the new patient paperwork was "what religion are you." Suddenly I'm really uncomfortable in this place. My insurance needs to get their shit together and find me a better selection of doctors, because all the local ones were listed at this place.

SwimModSponges Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Maybe they just want to make sure that if they give you a blood transfusion you don't end up with Hindu blood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyBeardmane Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Nah, this is Cult of Christianity, bible thumping, Trump humping country. Surprised the lil holiness girl didn't kick me out when I said none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Maybe that's all that's available in your network....It it may not have been so a a prying thing to say you need to be Christian or whatever but just because certain religions may not be open to certain treatments.. I really don't know, I was so happy to get insurance with my job that I don't care what they ask. Most of my doctors are East Indian. All that said, I've never seen that question on any form except when I was going to a doctor in Tennessee and I think it was like a Catholic hospital.

midnight Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 This was not what I expected when I opened this thread. I was prepared to answer with, "Yeah. I hate when that happens. I was going in for an eye exam and ended up getting a prostate exam." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bend you in half until you can look up your ass until you can see your own prostate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm feeling bad I go to the clinic where they just ask to see my insurance card, so it tripped me up. After I actually saw the doctor they gave me the forms to fill out and it made a lot more sense because they also asked about gender identity, sexuality, and preferred pronouns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
