This blows my mind on two levels.
1) I don't get why guns are a medical issue. In most instances I can't imagine why a doctor would ask about anyone's guns. Guns are dangerous but doctors aren't there to give firearms advice. Vehicles are dangerous but as far as I know but doctors don't question you randomly about your driving skills, what vehicle you drive and so on, generally.
2) I can think of a few instances in which a doctor might be curious about if a patient had guns or not, for example doctors sometimes ask you if you drive when they give you heavy medication that might prevent you driving. In some cases they don't ask if you drive, they just say don't drive if you take this medication.
This seems to me to be a problem that's just escalated and got out of hand maybe some doctors asked too many prying questions about guns that they shouldn't have then the backlash is a law that prevents any questions about guns.
I don't know for sure if that is the case but I've been asked questions about my religion and about my friends by a doctor before who suggested I go out and get rid of my old friends and try and find some Christian friends and organizations to help me when I went in there with a problem with an irregular heart beat. It is possible for a doctor to use their position to give out opinions on things they shouldn't do so maybe this was the case in America with guns.
But anyway in conclusion I don't think doctors should be focused on asking prying questions about guns, on the other hand there's some situations where a doctor might be a bit curious about the persons gun ownership and should be allowed to ask.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
