I went to a new doctor last week for a hand issue, and when the nurse left the room, my medical chart was left open on the computer screen. There, in a 2 inch by 1 inch block in the top, right corner in large, bold letters, it said PATIENT REFUSED. I always figured my refusal of the jab was displayed somewhere because I could always tell the doctor’s reaction to me. But the size of this literally screamed to any doctor that I had not complied. I almost felt violated with the size emphasis to make sure no medical person ever misses that I bucked their order. It fully taints any trust or relationship I have or could have with that medical person.

When ANY vaccine is refused a physician marks the vaccine declined. No big deal! I refused my last tetanus, my Dr. wrote, patient declined. Who cares?
I knew it was recorded somewhere, but I think seeing how big it was in size is what shocked me. For me it wasn’t just stating I’d refused; it was that it screamed I refused.
right, its actually a minor medical thing, but a major authoritarian thing
I understand but it will appear in the same font if you decline any vax. At my recent physical my doctor made no remark regarding my unvaxxed Coof status.
Curious why you refused your tetanus....
I chose not to get it at that particular appointment, however I am now up to date because I traveled to SE Asia. Since then I've been reading up on the tetanus vax, not sure I'll getting another. I'm 62 so I'm nearing the I don't give a F*ck stage of life 🥳
