A couple years ago they advised me to get "the shot" even though their own study showed that it was bullshit.

I have my annual physical coming up, they want me to fill out a pre-visit survey. Okay whatever.... Then they are asking me about if I can make rent, like what the fuck? I'm here for my physical health. What the fuck are you doing with this data? Yeah sorry. Cancel/delete data... fuck off.

I'll still go for my physical, but what the fuck. I'm gonna have to ask my doctor about this bullshit.

Welcome to the Clinic treadmill. I discovered if you totally ignore/ fill in the questionares with bullshit,etc. you can still go to your appt. I always knew the Clinic is a meat in- meat out money machine ( especially when they co-sponsored the Plandemic) but most of the people at our level are ok.

Yep. I'm not filling out shit. I'll still go in to get my blood work done and w/e but yeah fuck these social justice questions.

You can decline to answer any of it. It's a new incentive for doctors categorized as 'social needs' and it determines if they should give you a free meal or social worker referrals or the like. They are doing the PHQ-9 as well to aks questions to see if they can put you on SSRIs. Just decline to answer - that's the simplest way out of it.

I hate it and work dealing with medical data. I do not go to a doctor that works under CMS stuff, but it also means not covered by insurance. I pretty much doctor myself.

CMS is a nightmare.

CMS is awful. They drive a lot of the questions you get asked at the hospitals/clinics. Just decline and they take you out of the cohort. It sucks that we don't have control of our medical data. We have to send it to sooooo many places. "Oh! It's not selling it, it's for 'research!'"

The questions you are seeing now, though, seem to be related to incentives (monetary to get the docs to do their jobs because they won't otherwise). Part of my job is to dig up the data out of the health records to show that the docs are or are not doing XYZ to get their extra payments. The "Social Needs" is the latest. Just before that was "Depression Screening" (PHQ-2/9 Patient Health Questionnaire which isn't about your health but deciding based on stupid questions whether you should be referred to a head shrinker or just tossed on drugs). Most of these things are designed by CMS or Pfizer.
