Boundary Violating Doctors
What can you do if
your doctor acts inappropriately?
First, remember that you are
not alone. Many gun owners have expressed feelings of anger, frustration and humiliation
after their doctors asked inappropriate questions and made ill-informed
statements about personal firearms. It is highly unprofessional for
doctors to take advantage of their status and your trust to push their
personal political agenda. Since you are at a disadvantage in the
doctor's office, don't feel badly that you were not able to respond as you
might have wished. If your doctor has violated your boundaries in this manner, DSGL
offers two ways in which you can now respond. Your first option is to email us your doctor's full name and mailing address along with a
description of the behavior that you feel was inappropriate. Just drop
us an email at this address:
doctors@keepandbeararms.com
We'll get back to you for more details. If we agree that the behavior was inappropriate, we will
mail them an information packet and a polite letter, but will not reveal your
name unless you specifically request us to do so.
The second option is to make up your own
information packet by printing the documents listed below and giving them to your doctor
yourself. We suggest you include a personal letter stating how you feel about their
boundary violation and asking that they change their behavior. Two
suggested letters are included that you can use
to help write one of your own. You can ask your doctor to respond to
your letter. If you do not feel you are being treated respectfully,
you may send copies of the letter to administrators of the clinic or HMO
and ask them to respond.
