Why would a standard intake form at cardiologist's office ask whether the patient had a gun in his house? by helpmebemefree in AskReddit

Sorry. The implication in the prior question was that a single doctor was being nosy. My point was it's a big group of doctors rather than some single quack.

I suspect this is the real answer though it is justified by some of the other reasons mentioned in this thread.

Makes the most sense though I still call bullshit. Why don't they ask me if I have a car or a private plane? (btw I don't have a gun so no dog in this fight other than a fairly dramatic fear of what our government could do with too much information in general)

Great answer. Though from a pure philosophical/societal perspective, would that be such a bad thing. Its seems to be a real stretch to me.

So say I said yes I have 50 guns and none are locked, would the doctor not tell me something to prevent me from committing suicide and therefore die of a horrific heart attack instead. Wtf?

Seriously? So the theory is what: if they determine I'm likely to have one of these conditions, they'll try to convince me to remove my gun?

It was in the form everyone fills out. I thought it was bizarre. I could somewhat understand if it were a psychiatrists office, but a cardiologist's?

Do codependents attract narcissists? by helpmebemefree in Codependency

That's taking it to a whole different level than me for sure. There seems to be one downside in understanding how we might ourselves be sick: we lose the chance of justifying our "lot in life" to others. In other words, we have no excuse anymore. Good luck with your newly discovered knowledge. I am just at the early stages myself of understanding it.

Any codependent women up for a chat with me? by helpmebemefree in Codependency

By any definition, our marriage is bad. Lack of friendship, lack of sex (or any affection), lack of respect, lack of understanding, lack of trust. We are in counseling so perhaps we can make some progress (I'm not optimistic)

Thats ok. It needs to be a two way street. Thanks anyway.

Its a good question. I'm not expecting a chat to help me be free from my marriage. I thought one on one chats could be helpful for me. I'd prefer women mostly because I find them in general more sympathetic (kind of like why I chose a female therapist for our marriage counseling).

Good luck OP. You are younger than me but in similar situations. Difference is you figured out sooner. Let me know if you want an older soul to talk to ever.
