Hubby had several surgeries and each time before allowing me back with him they asked if he was being abused at home, he's 6'+, splits wood all day long, 63, former Marine, and sane but no one ever asked me if I was being abused, <5'5", 63, overweight and crabby. 🤷🏼♀️ Never vaxxd.🎉🎉

I think it's an insurance or hospital credentialing requirement for them to ask these things. Problem is that (1) lots of abused persons never consider the abusive behavior as "abuse." "Abuse" is a word most people don't think of in regard to themselves, even if they're being pushed, shoved, controlled, etc. (2) who's going to admit it in front of their spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend.
Perhaps well-intentioned but definitely poorly executed.
Copernicus, yes. It's often CMS mandated/ credentialling/ reimbursement related & DATA collection. It's mind boggling the amount of information there is about us flying around on the internet!
I had a surgery on my hand. Before sedation, I was asked by the nurse if I have fallen. I told her I slipped and fell a couple days before, why? She said we need to know if you are at risk. After my surgery and I was awake they had me WALK unattended to our waiting car!!
At risk for what? Another fall? More depression? Ugh.
One of my relatives was recently in hospital and needed care coordination. Part of the intake was a CMS-mandated question asking if they ever felt lonely even when around family and friends? What?
Great question. Not something that needs (1) asked without immediate follow-up depending on answer (2) asked without MEANINGFUL follow-up and not just meds and (3) to be enshrined in an EMR. Oh, and (4) may or may not be appropriate to ask IN FRONT OF said family.

"Are you being abused at home?"
"No, I am being abused right now. By a gaslighter."
😂

Also they ask if you’re depressed.
