what do u tell your doctor???

I def. tell my doc EVERYTHING. I work with him everyday, and we are very honest with each other about diagnoses and whatnot.

Docs can't tell. If they do and get caught, who would trust a doc like that?

what do u guys answer to all of these?? and also list your age too because i think that has somethign to do with it

personally i know that there is a confidentiality agreement with the doctor but im 20 and i still cant get the balls to say...ya i smoke weed alot, and use pills i dont have a prescription for....i finally told him i drank once i entered college but then they ask how much and im like uhhhh few drinks on the weekends...when in reality its like blacking out 4 nights a week

so what do u guys say??? i know its best healthwise to just be straight, but im talking about just for like normal checkups or physicals or something minor like the flu....if it was a serious life threatening issue id come out with everything

dont say nothing ul have big bro watchin ya yer doc got all yer deatails

I always tell them exactly what I do, Its your doctor, and he needs to know certain things, because if you lie, he might prescribe a drug that may clash with your personal stash, which is never good, plus they take blood tests alot so they will know anyway.

Your doctor isnt allowed to show your shit to other people, just like a shrink, plus, if you just tell him, theres no proof.

sorri i dont take any medication i rely on mari jane to make me better it works! did u know paracetamol has a drug in it that give u a headache wen its worn off !!!

unless there's someone i really dont' want to hear what i'm saying (namely my mom, actually that's about the only person i care if they know or not) then i have no problem with telling the truth? i mean what's the worst that could happen? they can't take you to jail because you admitted to using drugs... i mean clearly even if they did you'd come out the winner and more than likely the doctor the loser... you'd get off free cuz there's no way it would hold up in court, and the doctor would be facing the loss of his practicing degree for breaking patient-doctor confidineality...

ooohhh hmmmm never thought of it like that but who's to say that they dont break the pact.....

Not even employers can access medical information without a release. Unless you are getting a security clearance anytime soon, you don't have anything to worry about. Tell doctors the truth about what you put in your body.

well i'm more than positive that alot of doctors break that confidientiality, the question, and possible problem, is who they're blabbing to... i mean just about everyone talks about what happened at their job that day, atleast at some point in their working life... i'm sure doctors are no diffrent..

edit: if i were a doctor and some guy came in cuz he somehow managed to glue a dildo in his ass, you can bet i'd be going home telling my wife the story about it and laughing...

I also drink but not heavily.

kind of dissapoining, i allways thought you were pure herb with the occasional brew

all good though

as said before, in order to get the most accurate diagnosis and avoid harmfull side effects of combonations of drugs you should tell your doctor. Your doctor is not affiliated with the police and there is no incentive for him to rat you out. It is both illegal as well as dumb because the doctor will lose business if your in the clink. Doctors know better than anyone that they cant really dictate what you do to your body (people refuse to take their medication all the time). they can only reccomend and advise. Doctors are your friend, unless you go to Dr. kevorkian for check ups, dont take perscriptions he writes.
