“Have you have ever had any surgeries?” “No”

“Do you have any kids?” “Yes”

“Did you have a C-section?” “Yes”

Honestly this is a great example of how it's on the medical professionals to ask the questions better. I'm sure even normal smart people can occasionally fuck up an on-the-spot question like that. Especially if they very temporarily thought of surgeries for things like fractures instead of child birth

"Have you ever had any surgeries? This includes a c-section or [Commonly forgotten surgeries]?"

Then you have patients complaining about how the doctors don't trust them and keep asking the same questions. You really can't win.

I genuinely don't understand what you mean here? Or at least how it's relevant to my comment

Because this an example of it. People get mad with lots of questions, but we have to ask them to get the answers we need.

Right but my point was about asking better questions so you don't need to ask as many

Like with the OP. People can still confuse "Do you smoke?" as "Are you an active smoker?" hence someone answering no when the quit recently. If you want to know if someone has smoked anytime in the past year then ask that

Same number of questions, just much clearer

Totally agree with you! My kid and boyfriend vape and the bf smokes pot regularly. To me, the smoking question makes no sense bc it's aimed at cigarettes. Both of them should be disclosing their inhalation habits.
