I am w-a-y outside the age range this doc talks about in the article, but have been asked questions about drug/alcohol use at an initial appointment with a new PCP. It was part of taking my medical history. I did not find it intrusive. I thought they were taking a complete history and treating the whole me, not just a group of symptoms.
What flabbergasted me was the doc saying he spends 30 minutes with a patient! When is the last time a doc spent 30 minutes with you???? The most my last two PCPs spent with me was 5-10 minutes and one of them stood with his hand on the door!
