Re: What the fuck, Florida?
Pediatricians routinely ask about car seats, outlet covers, cabinets and their contents, pools/bodies of water, nutrition, discipline methods, allergen exposures etc. during what is called anticipatory guidance, which is an effort to educate parents about health and wellness issues related to their children. Asking about firearms in the home during this is not remotely odd. Yes, they can go over stuff in a general way, but why waste a lot of time talking about stuff that isn't pertinent to that individual family?
Since accidents of all kinds are a major cause of death of children in first world countries, why shouldn't their health care provider be free to talk about various dangers?
