You’re an idiot. Of course doctors are concerned about safety. It’s how emergency room visits are prevented, fatal car accidents are minimized, and drownings are lessened, because physicians have a direct interest in your child’s health and safety. It’s why they encourage you to put your child in a car seat, teach them how to swim and put alarms on the pool gates, and cover your electrical outlets.
Asking whether or not a parent is appropriately storing their weapons is no different than asking if all the ingestible poisons are kept in a cabinet with a childproof latch on it. It’s not a fucking hassle.
Question your competence? Honey, based on your posts I should hope someone would question your competence, and I thank the lord I don’t believe in that you’re not a parent. It’s a pediatrician’s job to help educate parents on potential risks their children are exposed to both inside the home and outside. Not everyone is intuitively aware of them all, which is why a professional is obligated out of concern for his patient (which, by the way, is the child, not you).
Actually, I would say professional competence saves more lives than bedside manner. If you’re really so sensitive about being asked by a person who has an interest in your child’s health and safety whether or not you’re following safety protocols that are endorsed and encouraged by the fucking NRA, you seem like the type of person who is too sensitive to own a gun. Grow the fuck up.
And shut up, BigTard.
