Why do doctors?



As most of you know that I have visited a few doctors lately regarding my health issues. Most of the time their typical and first question is::::

Are you Married?

So this time I got the answer. I came back home and goggled the question and the answer is here. Its annoying still!!!

eshda3wa emotional issues, maybe they think you have a rough marriage or rough things in bed?!! hahah
FourMe said…
at least in kuwait they ask you if you're married here they just ask you point blank .. Are you sexually active? I'll take the married question over any silly questions that I get here anytime :/

Why is it annoying even after you found out the reason?

Well , this is called Social History , in order to reach an accurate diagnoses and execute a well planned treatment ,a medical personal need to take history of the illness,your past medical history, Family history , Medication and allergy and last but not least physical examination.

Bottom line : marital status is part of medical information gathering

I usually answer this question with another one, “are you?” or when I pissed off, “What, you don’t think I’m pretty enough to get married y3ny?”. I’m not a very friendly person when it comes to doctors; it’s my right you know. I mean the guy/lady will probably end up sticking something down and orifice, prop me with needles, or drill a hole. You betcha, I’m pissy when at the doctor’s.
Oddly though a dentist I used to go to proposed once.

It's just a modified way to ask about the person's sexual activities! They have to ask about it in case of Urological problems :)

it's about the sex but in america they ask if you have been in a sexual relationship and the "are you married question"!!;/
Grey said…
Uhem ! didn't Dr Grey Advice you to get married first ?
Cooookies said…
It's just a polite way of asking about ur sexual activity ! Alot of patients find it insulting when we ask whether theyre married or not .. i dont get it, its much less embarrassing to ask sexual activities straight fwd !!
