Funny call from my family Dr.

I went on line over the weekend and made an appointment to see my family Dr., something his clinic allows and I like because I can pick from available dates and times and choose what I want. So I picked May 4th for a physical exam because that is about when my current prescription for blood pressure medicine runs out and I am not seeing the Dr. that prescribed in the past because he is a complete moron.

So today I get a call from the clinic saying they are required to ask me 2 screening questions. OK. Then they ask if I have been to West Africa recently or if I have knowingly come into contact with anyone suffering from Ebola.

Seems kind of odd as Ebola has sort of fallen out of the nightly news circuit and my appointment is 5-6 weeks away. But whatever... I can remember when AIDS was relatively new and they asked question like these for that disease.
