Pronouns belong on intake forms, right next to patient name. Mine are in my medical file, so any doctor I see with access to my data in Epic who gets it wrong is showing up unprepared.
The only ones who get a pass are EMS folks overwhelmed by the work of keeping people alive. I'm sympathetic to someone taking a wild guess at my pronouns while they're holding my guts in with their thumb.
