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.

I think this might be a violation of law.
Several years ago, I went to a doctor for an ear issue. During the "interview" before the doc came in, the nurse was asking a lot of questions.
One of the questions was, "Do you own any firearms?"
Huh? For an ear issue?
I responded with, "What does that have to do with my ear?"
She said, "I know, I just have to ask."
I said, "It is not relevant, it is intrusive, and it is none of your business."
She said she agreed, and moved on.
Later, I looked into it, and found I could "lock" my medical records in a way similar to locking a credit report. This might or might not work WITHIN a particular health system -- might only work on records if the health system you are using is different from another one who has your info.
Anyway, I later went in for a routine annual physical (back when I thought this might be a good idea -- but no more!), and the doctor called me after the checkup to ask why I had my medical records from a previous procedure locked. IOW, he could not access those records without my express, written permission (which I never gave).
Something to consider.
Nice! Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode...
Yea the one where the dentist writes "difficult" on her chart.
Yeah. Some people are just too hard to kill dang it
Is that the Steven Seagal movie where he refuses the vaxx?
Anti-dentite!
You...dont want to wear the ribbon??? Wtf is wrong with YOU
NO SOUP FOR YOU !
Howls. You are a good one.
I wonder if this applies to colonoscopies. I'm in my 40s and have never had one.
EDIT: Okay, I get it, I'm not getting one! You can stop now!
Don't unless there are issues. I'm not a doctor, so just my opinion, never had one, don't want one.
Colonoscopies are for DNA gathering. My husband’s medical provider asked him to come back in to the office b/c he refused to send his DNA through the mail. He again refused. They asked why. He then proceeded to tell the provider that he didn’t want China or anyone else collecting his DNA to make bio weapons. The provider looked shocked. He said, “There is nothing wrong so why create issues?” They finally backed off. I was SO proud of him!
Colonoscopies are outpatient procedures, so no general anethesthetic. Not a big deal. If polyps are caught early, they are easily removed during the procedure. Early detection is key and easy to do so why not? If you have issues like blood in your stool, or worse, it may be too late to fix or much more difficult to do so.
Discernment is our greatest weapon in information warfare. Think about the pros and cons, ask around, and then make the best decision for you.
Colonoscopies are administered with general anesthesia here. It’s a giant racket and a huge money maker. The facilities are enormous and run like mini hospitals (= huge insurance reimbursement). All you need as an initial screen is a stool sample. The whole polyps thing is BS.
Every location is different. Different medical systems, different doctors, different state regs, etc.
Everyone should do their own research and make their own decision.
As an example, if there is family history of colon cancer, screening is probably more important.
I encourage everyone to stay safe and healthy. We need as many of us in good health as possible. We still have much ahead of us!

Never had one, never will. My father had the pleasure of a perforated colon during his, almost bled to death, only to find later (3 months) they missed a tumor. He ended losing 1/2 of his colon.
There is also cologuard as an option. It tests for blood and DNA changes that signal cancer. There are false positives and negatives though. With a scope, they actually see what's up.
I am not pushing it one way or the other. Everyone needs to make their own decision.
I despise the medical industry as much as anyone and I am no advocate for them.
I am an advocate for my frens' health and long life though. 🐸❤️
Don't do it. It is the number 1 money making procedure. No one has ever been saved from cancer from a colonoscopy
There was news awhile back that the scopes CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY CLEANED!!!!! Meaning other people’s shot is being injected deep inside you.
Just say no. Hell no. Fuck no. Never.
I can confirm this, unfortunately. 🤢😵☠️
This
I took my colonoscopy pics to my dad & said "see, I got proof. My head is NOT in my ass."
I know several people that have died from bleeding out during colonoscopies. The worst part is they can do blood tests or ultrasounds to diagnose you without the need for a colonoscopy.
I'm generally a person who prefers to be truthful, but my doctor has NEVER asked me about firearms. But if he ever does, I'm going to lie to his face and say, "NO! I hate those things!" Maybe it depends on what state you're in. Being in Tennessee, not a single doctor has ever asked me about that.
Hypothetical dystopia-
"And now you find out your doctor was secretly deputized by the FBI and knows you're lying about the guns, and you're in for a world of hurt you just created for yourself by not telling the truth."
Learn from Abraham of the Bible. Lying will only get you into more trouble.
the doctor called me after the checkup to ask why
What did you say in response?
Excellent advice!
