OMG, I have a couple of them. One prior to the hallaballoo, when I had a tumor removed the nurse came in with a needle. I asked what is that for and she said its your flu shot. Told her I did not request it and she was insistent that I have to have it. I told her NO I do not and thankfully I was awake otherwise she may have given it to me without me knowing. She also wrote in my medical records the patient admittedly refused. and darn straight I did.

More recently went in for annual check up and the doctor at first visit wanted me on Metformin even though I am not Type 2 Diabetic, she said its for help with weight loss, but I could read about it and I did thankfully - that stuff is toxic. Same doctor a week later was all concerned about my blood pressure and some extra heatbeats. She had me tested and they all proved normal but she had prescribed without consulting me metoprolol and when I looked that up - another toxic med that can do damage to your heart and since my tests proved normal why would she prescribe it - oh yeah as a preventative medication.

Well I consulted my nutritionist who tested me as having a thyroid problem which can cause the heart palpitations etc.

We have to be so vigilant with doctors and hospitals. My biggest concern would be when I am under during a surgery they would administer whatever they wanted and I wouldn't know.

Very good advice. During the Covid years I took my wife to an Emergency Room at a San Jose, California hospital and they refused to let me be with her as a patient's advocate because I was not vaccinated. She was suffering from confusion and dizziness and called me terrified because they were pressuring her to take a Covid vaccine and she didn't think she could stop them.

I wish I had known about filing a complaint with the civil rights agency. I did file a complaint with the state health department and after a lot of nagging they investigated and completely cleared the hospital. It was a one-sentence investigation "the hospital was not in any violation".

State investigators look out for each other. The only good thing was that a week after my complaint the hospital changed its policy and started allowing non-vaccinated visitors.
