Re: OT: Asked if I had a gun in my home during physical.

I agree physicians are only interested on your health. But if you say anything that may lead them to believe there is an unsafe situation in the home they have to report it .

Re: Trying to be compliant

Thank you all for your replies. They all helped a great deal. In answering my questions and giving needed encouragement. I found the other articles in the lightbulb on top. And am considering whether I want to invest into the software since I may be able to get a newer machine in a few months.
