LOL, wonder if that was a mistake?
November 10, 2016 at 8:22 pm
Have a referral to a medical specialist for a little procedure in a few weeks.  Had an informational call today and amidst all the family history of spontaneous human combustion, do you take blood thickeners and are you allergic to kelp kinda  queries, there was a little surprise in the mix:

religious affiliation ?

Well, your vorlon jumped to the for with an "Atheist!" reply (and yes, from my tone and inflection she had to hear the exclamation mark) and without missing a beat she went on to the how many times do you get up during the night to pee question.

It was fun . . .

-however-

the procedure is a little scary, a little delicate, and super expensive.  And the specialist is affiliated with a protestant leaning health care system . . .


So, I have this to take my mind off the possible results of the procedure and now get to worry about what might happen DURING the procedure at the hands of a possible True Believer® type, LOL!

Not really worried, I have a keychain DVR gizmo, I think it will be on my person somewhere discreetly so I can at least record the audio of the procedure.


Maybe I'll have something funny to report, or maybe something ghastly instead if they find a [redacted] in me and are suitably horrified.

Did you say "more than I get up to pray?"

Bet she misspelled athiest. 

Or just put "godh8tr".

Hey, take it from a lawyer who represents doctors and hospitals: if someone leaves a tiny cross in your chest cavity, you will get millions of dollars.

Such a random question for a medical questionnaire! hahah. I guess with some religions they have to be careful with blood stuff and medicine stuff and other stuff. Still funny. Hope the procedure goes well for you! Smile

Yeah, I have POA for a relative, and I've been asked the transfusion question every time he's been admitted.

It's amazing with all the electronic medical records, I am still PLAGUED with the same questions every time he sneezes it seems.

The other reason they ask is, in case something goes very very wrong, they want to know if they should call a priest, a pastor, a rabbi, an imam, a dark lord of satan, etc to administer last rites
