eating habits, OK by me

OK by you if the doctor asks, "How often do you eat junk food? How many calories a day do you consume, on the average? Do you ever binge on ice cream or other sweets?"

hygiene, OK by me

OK by you if the doctor asks "Do you bathe/shower every day? Do you always wash your hands before eating? After using the toilet? Do you ever eat food that has fallen on the floor?"

and sexual proclivities? OK by me

OK by you if the doctor asks "How often do you have sex? Do you engage in oral sex? Anal sex? Any fetishes? Do you have unprotected sex with strangers?"

And in all of the above instances, as with the gun issue, doctors could offer plenty of useful health and safety information without asking the intrusive questions and making sensitive information a part of a person's enduring medical record.

color of my shit, right after he pulls his finger out of my ass? OK by me

I'd prefer to leave the color of your shit out of the discussion, much as you seem bent on including it.

The judges, however, upheld the law’s anti-discrimination provision, which prevents a doctor from refusing to treat a patient who owns a gun. I have mega choices in which doctor I see, OK by me.

Well aren't you the privileged one! Some people don't have the luxury of those "mega choices." But we'll just put you down as OK with doctors refusing to treat patients who won't respond to irrelevant and intrusive questions. Doctor always know best, right? Sometimes withholding treatment is the appropriate protocol, right?
