Submitters Comments.

Hospitals, Doctors offices, etc. are now asking very intrusive and sensitive inapporpriate questions to their patients. Questions like, 1. Do you have suicidal thoughts and tendencies, 2. Have you ever wanted to harm yourself, 3. Do you feel like their is no more reason for living, 4. Do you have the desire or want to kill someone, and others questions like these. And if you don't answer the questions or answer in a way they don't like they will have you escorted out and will not treat you. This is WRONG... No one has the right to ask someone these types of questions.. Right to Privacy means just that, my right to my pricacy of personal information...
