Interesting. Asking because I work in a hospital (in America tho) and making our patients more comfortable is better for everyone. We do serve a lot of homeless people tho, so for that we would probably still need to ask DoB since we need to verify two identifiers.

Firstly, I'm a weirdo and my preferences aren't indicative of "what makes people comfortable" generally.

Secondly, in some cases DoB is really just a code number. Over the last year I've started providing an incorrect DoB at new clinics I attend. It's never caused any problems. As long as I can provide the right code number when asked it has served its purpose.
