Do you lie to your doctor?

[Nick]

I see that some wumman has figured out that the amount of alcohol people confess to their doctor about drinking is onl hal the amount of alcohol ackchooly sold in this country. Can this mean that we massage the figures that we tell the doctor when they ask about this?

I lied to A doctor during a medical for renewing my PCV licence last year.

I was found out and had imense difficulty trying to scramble my way out of the hole I'd dug, and I'm still not out of it either.

PCV licence renewal is still sitting on my desk gathering dust, and I don't know if I will ever send it off now tbh.

[Snoopy]

Nope! I always tell my doctors the truth but only to the questions they ask. I never volunteer any further information.

My thought is that is I don't answer them truthfully there is little or no chance that they will be able to help me .... That said they do little for me anyway

"Yes M'Lud, and as you can clearly see, Mr Growler has publicly admitted the offence on an Internet Forum."

I resent the compulsory booze interrogation which now seems to be standard here 

When I was in A&E with a broken shoulder in November I was asked some damn fool questions about booze habits. I said, "Can we skip this, I am in agony here?"

It was explained that the compooter insisted on these questions and that they could do nothing more for me until I had answered them

I am with Snoops on this one they are not the alcohol/drugs police ....and may affect what medication they could give you ..........

An ex of mine had cancer and had tried pot/grass to help ......she did not want to tell the doctor ...............I did .......he did not even bat an eyelid...

There was an old chap in the village who was a legendary boozer. He was also an accountant. He told me once that his doctor wanted to know how much he drank and that he had decided to be truthful 

Tally was:

10,00 a.m.: glass of sherry with the morning mail
1.00: Pub. Three pints followed by lunch at his club with bottle of claret
4.00: Drive home and go to pub. 5 pints
7.00: Dinner. Bottle of collapso
Followed by port and brandy

Doc said, "Mr X, I couldn't drink that much water in a day!"
His reply? "Well neither could I"
