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.
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!
Like everyone here says. Get your colonoscopy. The only thing bad is the fasting so get the first appointment in the morning
There is a poop test that can be done now that substitutes for colonoscopy. Not quite as good as a colonoscopy but much cheaper and much less trouble.
When I did mine at 50 they found polyps, and my Dr said I dodged a bullet on them. I got to watch the procedure on the big TV as they did it too. That was interesting
Colonoscopies are beneficial, but best to keep your gut healthy. I recommend fiber supplements of your choice, no matter how many leafy greens and fiber rich foods you eat. Todays American diet is horrible for our guts.
Carnivore or keto is also an option, no leafy greens or fiber needed.
What supplement do you recommend?
Everyone is not saying that.
