SallyVee Answers: Gun Signs
Frank Answers: Monkey Shortage and Nuclear Power SallyVee Answers Mitchell G., MD from Saint Cloud, Minnesota writes: Mitch: This is ludicrous, which should become evident to even the dumbest of dumbasses as you try to write the stupid sign. How are you going to enforce the request, btw? You gonna have the nurses pat everyone down--could get interesting and may help with client retention.
Jonag from Chandler, Arizona writes: I've had nothing to do with at no one has presented any evidence otherwise. I would say, though, that a sudden dissapearance of monkeys is cause for concern. Most likely that means they are doing their final plotting for a strike against us. Make sure to stock up on shotgun shells and anti-monkey spray.
Yeah, power everything with nuclear reactions; that’s a great idea! Then, when we have a car wreck, it will take out half the state. Plus, when everyone slows down to look at the wreck, they'll get radiated (you have to at least be going 65mph to outrun radiation). * * * * Please keep the questions coming, e-mailing me with the subject "Frank Answers" and include your name and town after the question and blog URL if you have one. Since I like the whole name and town dynamic, if you don't give me a place you're from, I'll randomly select one. I thought radiation made you immune to stuff and makes people into super heroes, like spiderman. Sounds good to me. #1 - Posted by: Curtis on August 12, 2003 03:27 PMThis gun stuff in MN is typical and you need to approach your sign considering your MN audience. The sign should say: If you have a gun and it's loaded, please don't shoot doctors. Save your bullets for any politicians who drop in to have their eyes/heads examined. You might also want to consider plugging unruly children and patients who arrive dressed in Halloween costumes. #2 - Posted by: Aunt Judy on August 12, 2003 04:03 PMMitchell G. should check out http://www.dsgl.org/. It's the website for Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws. They have quite a few papers about just this sort of thing, and if Mitchell needs further, he should contact Michael Brown. He's very open about discussing this type of thing. In my opinion you should offer a discount for permit holders, as having them there makes you safer. #3 - Posted by: Jason on August 12, 2003 04:45 PMRadiation makes people sterile. For that reason I think we should start a pilot program in places like Washington DC or Hollywood. LOLOLOLOLOVE the rotating poll! I think I answered 'em all.. gave up when six in a row were familiar.... #5 - Posted by: Tuning Spork on August 12, 2003 09:51 PMSince I paid to register, I can have up to fifty at once. I'm just going to keep adding a few each day. #6 - Posted by: Frank J. on August 12, 2003 09:54 PMIs there anywhere we can get a list of them? #7 - Posted by: IkkoNoIshi on August 12, 2003 10:15 PMNope, they'll just keep coming and surprising you. Unfortunately, I can't run two polls at once, so the rotating poll will have to temporarily stop if I have another contest poll. I think all future polls will be up in that corner instead of in posts. #8 - Posted by: Frank J. on August 12, 2003 10:28 PMHow about: "GUNS BANNED ON PREMISES" which is the wording recommended by the statute, and underneath this "By 3 to 2 vote of partners" so patrons are well aware that it was not unanimous and they can ask their doctor if they like. A more "in your face" disclaimer would be "...Except for Dr. Gossman and Dr. XXXXX". What holds me back is the fact that this might irritate my liberal patients, which I do not want. Which is the same reason why it is irrational to have the sign - it may irritate conservative and/or gun-toting patients, and accomplish nothing for safety. But I LOVE the suggestion of a discount for CCW'ers - "present your permit, get 5% off". Love it. ... Or present your firearm menacingly for 100% off? Dr. Gossman -- I am a PA practicing in Orthopaedics out here in liberal Kalifornia. I loved the "100% off" post ... ROTFLMAO !! Seriously though, is it possible to pursue the "alienating potential/current customers and patients" angle with the group? Would these same physicians be willing to put up a sign that gave a statement about another divisive issue, e.g. abortion ? I personally would not support a practice which had an anti-gun sign. Tell your group that equals in cash terms a capitated patient who never gets sick. #12 - Posted by: Brian on August 13, 2003 02:50 PMI did indeed present the potential for alienating patients as the PRIMARY angle for not wanting the sign. Secondary but related issue is the fact that I, like many, don't like it. Others, ingenuously in my opinion, state that they want the sign for safety. I see the very real possibility of alienation as being infinitely more likely than the infinitesimal possibility of a legally licensed individual walking in calm and deciding he'd like to kill someone after the office visit. I have been insulted by these signs. One store in town had a sign even before the CCW liberalization occurred, and one day I was about to enter the store packing when I saw the sign. My instinct was to say "F*** Y**" and go elsewhere. And great minds think alike. I asked how the leading sign proponent would like it if we put an NRA sign in the window or a sign welcoming legal firearms, and added that "The counterpart to me would be a sign supporting NARAL". She snapped back the non sequitur: "How do you know I'm pro-choice"? #13 - Posted by: MV Gossman, MD on August 13, 2003 10:31 PMGee, I dunno! I have thought about this issue and its hard to get clarity. I, therefore, have to say I am totally undecided and it is nagging away like worrying about an early pregnancy test. #14 - Posted by: Barbara Chorionic on September 22, 2004 03:30 PMi like the design alot, i am trying to write a blog about famous metal buildings and steel structures, thanks #15 - Posted by: metal buildings on January 18, 2005 01:38 PMPost a comment
