My 8 year-old nephew has allergies to peanuts and eggs. He has been reading package labels since he was 6, and has become quite proficient at explaining his dietary needs to adults.
If your kid can't keep track of his basic medical history, you should really consider working on that with him. It's one of those basic skills that he'll need in a couple of years as an adult.
If you're concerned about the ability of these physicians to deal with such a dilemma without your assistance, you need to step back and realize they have far more training than you.
As for other stuff...
A person can choose or not choose to provide their medical history to ANY physician they choose to see. I've had to sign reams of paper and fax or hand-deliver all sorts of paperwork to get my team of physicians to make sure they have all of the information possible to best deal with my woman-specific issues.
Planned Parenthood is no different in that respect from any other medical group. "No questions asked" can go both ways - someone who is truly concerned about their own health would make sure they ask the right questions and obtain the best possible care.
