I am addressing this to both sexes tryin to figure out if woman and men are asked the same "Stupid" question when you go see a doctor.

In the last 31 months I have seen no less then 100 doctors in 3 states. What kills me is they all ask the same stupid question first. They always ask >>>> ARE YOU MARRIED? <<<<


What does being single or being married have to do with me walking in with a hole the size of fist in my abdomen. I mean you can stick your hand against my gut and feel where the muscle is gone. So i suppose that if I had been married this hole would have never appeared! As if being married will keep me out of the doctors office.

I am currently working on a list of comebacks to answer their Insane question and looking for any snappy one liners from everyone.

Examples:
I'm not married, because I dont have time to date since I visted me local sex shop that was having a close out special.

Or, No woman will date me becuase I spend to much time answering you marriage question

Or, I'm single because the woman I date prefer using battery powered toys!

Or, I'm single because it is easier to patch a blow up doll then it is a real person.

Or, you mean to tell me if I had a wife I wouldn't have a hole..LOL sorry couldn't resist that one....

So you see what I'm looking for please feel free to add some snappy remarks. I look forward to all feedback!

Thanks in advance!

Well, after my girlfriend left me, I haven't felt like I was complete!

Once while living in Northern Virginia it was snowing. I got out of the car, with the doctor looking at me, since I guess she was looking at the snow. I proceeded to give my then husband and children a kiss, which she saw. She then asked my sexual orientation when she asked for my info. Gave me a complex that I looked butch or something. I enjoy putting odd answers on the questionares.
Ex: Have you ever been treated for a mental illness?
Answer-No but may need to after waiting in your office so long.
Ex: Any live births?
Answer-Only dead ones. (Isn't that the meaning of birth alive, hello.)
Ex: Married or single?
Answer-Some days I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't
or why is somebody looking?

Just tell the doc "Hell no what gave you that idea...






...I'm F@cking your spouse!"

"umm sorry doc but i don't swing that direction,so i better not hear you putting on a glove and telling me to bend over!"

I have also wondered why I need to advise a doctor/hospital as to whether I am single/married/divorced/widow. Who cares? And why do they have to know where I work or go to school? It would seem that all they need are facts concerning whether I do or don't have insurance. And of course, health questions, do I smoke, drink, have I had recent surgery and the rest of that stuff.

Once the doctor asked me during my exam, "What religion are you?"

I replied, "Why do you need to know that, you workin for the Anti-christ or ya gonna call my messiah and ask him to come heal me, because this hospital sucks!"

A few doctors asked me if I was single or married and I asked why are you proposing to me cus I have an insane urge to stick my finger in your azz!!

Another one I have used is Divorced but he still pays my bills here is his info be sure and record his response for me so I can laugh my azz off later!!

Say, "No, why do you have a daughter that would like to play doctor?"

it's been proven that men stay happier and healthier when they are married.

because all of this stuff impacts your health. some more directly than others...

I have never been asked if I was married. Just on the paper. They want to know so they know who they can talk to about your condition. Also if something happens to you.
Sexual orientation is so they know whether or not they want to turn their back on you.
Religious orientaion is so they know which pastor or whatever to contact in the event of an emergency for prayer if you wish one. Also which treatment is correct for that religion.

The one I like is when it asks in the little box "sex". I really do answer it this way."sex" "no" or "not lately". Just to see if they say anything. Only one Dr ever said anything about it.

Well you are asked your home life questions because...

Especailly if you are going in for any kind of major surgery or like the Op said a major ailment...

So they can see the kind of recovery you may or may not need help with. ie...are you married, do you have kids...(can they help you, or are you too busy taking care of them)

as for other odd questions, some doctors have to fake bed side manner, which means they have to strike up conversation with you... and what are people eager to talk about..... things that they love.... family friends...ect....

I normally respond when asked "Are you married" with "Are you proposing" works for me
