This is where my head usually explodes on people:
It doesn't matter if I got my opinion from the internet, a doctor, or my astrologist psychic tarot card reader.
I do not want to take a health treatment. That's it. That is all.
I work in a retirement home as security. We had a daughter call the front desk last week because Mom was acting nuts, fell, couldn't get up--Dad couldn't get her up--but Mom didn't want them to call EMS to help her. Dad was panicking. She'd been down there for almost 2 hours and he couldn't lift her. I told the daughter I'd go up to their apartment but THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I cannot call EMS without the resident's express permission.
I go up, I talk to "Dad" for like 20 mins (while he's still on the phone with Daughter) but he doesn't want me in the apartment (OK, got the feeling Mom wasn't completely, ah dressed, that's cool). After 20 MINUTES he finally agrees we can call EMS. EMS and FD arrive, go in, and come back out 5-10 mins later and say, She's in a dementia/Alzheimer's episode and her vitals aren't good, but we can't transport her because SHE REFUSES. Read that again. The FD and EMS could not Transport her to a hospital despite her medical condition because they did not have express permission from the patient to transport her. Even though she clearly needed Help AND was having an episode that made it clear she was not in her right fucking Mind. They were not allowed to Treat her or take her for treatment.
So let me get this fucking straight. A Woman who is clearly in medical distress, and having an Alzheimer's episode and is NOT mentally well, CAN REFUSE MEDICAL TREATMENT.......
But we Can't. We are "mandated" (doesn't even exist) to get a shot we don't want or lose everything. Even though our health is fine, we're not crazy, and we're making a sound, logical decision based on our knowledge of ourselves and our medical condition.
My reasons don't matter. No. No is NO. I don't care what you think. I don't care what anyone thinks. I don't have to give you a reason. I don't have to tell you where my information came from. No. I don't want it. That should be the end of the discussion.
Please don't confuse your god-complex, and self-righteous authoritarianism for my compliance.
Bravo, sir.
