'I believe that in the context of safety and responsibly we can, as healthcare providers, remain true to both our promise and our claim.'
As physicians and healthcare providers we have taken the Hippocratic oath and promised to “first do no harm.” At the same time, as Americans we proudly claim the rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. Particularly, the second amendment and the right to bear arms. Some might propose that our promise as healthcare providers and our claim to our rights as Americans are mutually exclusive.
Be familiar with your weapon — keep it clean, keep the safety engaged, always keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on your target. Never handle your weapon after using alcohol or other intoxicants — impaired judgement while handling firearms can lead to serious or fatal injury. For gun owners, practicing safe and responsible ownership should be second nature. As healthcare providers we should comfortably and readily discuss safe and responsible gun ownership with our patients. This is particularly important for primary care providers, family practice providers and pediatricians.
